DETAILS

Come help us ensure a smooth event by riding and reviewing the Metric course! We need your eyes on the PINK road markings to confirm they're spot-on. This 68-mile loop offers a mix of leg-stretching flats, enjoyable rollers, and some fresh climbs through the eastern countryside. You might even spot some unique local sights like emus, albino deer, or The Funny Farm—perfect for a quick photo break!

Key Checkpoints:

Daybreak Park: Mile 27 (Rest Stop)
Lacamas: Mile 51 (Rest Stop)
BCC: Start/Finish (Rest Stop) with an ice cream bar reward at the finish!

Your participation helps us make next week's event a success!
