For West Ridge, note that the portion of the trail behind the school on the community walking trail (shown as a dashed line on the course maps) will ONLY be open for riding on race day. Please help us be good trail stewards and do NOT ride the walking trail prior to race day.

Reminder that courses are NOT open for pre-riding ON RACE DAY.

There is less construction at the high school this year, so we have more parking than last year. Parking is also available at Trap Rock Brewing!

Bike Jacket

Protect your two-wheeled investment

Corroded chains, stuck cables, and pitted disc brakes wreck your ride and your bike. Bike Jacket is an easy, simple way to protect your bike from the elements that could damage it.

Avoid road crud

Bikes are often on the back of a vehicle being transported somewhere. Driving along the road less traveled can be great—but what dirt and gravel do to bike components is no good.

No more hassling with offhand solutions

Hey, we’ve been there and done that. We’ve messed with plastic bags that flew off on the road and other crazy mishaps. You want to spend your time biking and not hassling with protecting your bike on the road. That’s why we created Bike Jacket! Easy, fast and effective.

CAMPING and HOTELS

Please plan to make a great weekend of the race and head up Saturday...or even Friday. Our first choice for your stay would be one of our past Race Sponsors at the Holiday Inn Express or the Dalles House Motel. Be sure to tell them you are in town for the race!

We DO NOT have camping available at the race. The high school will not allow it. We have several great options within minutes of the race.
