Cascade Cycling Classic Festival B-Ride

C/22/Frequent Barbara Pettersen     Link

Saturday June 1 is the Cascade Cycling Classic's big "Sul Fuime" Crit Festival at the Parks and Rec Pavilion Ice Arena site. There will be pro and amateur criterium races, a high school grand prix (think 'Breaking Away' Little 500), kids' Strider races, a beer garden, live music, food trucks, a cycling expo area, and much, much more. The CCC events start at 1:00 and last into the evening. For more info on the CCC and Festival activities, visit cascade-classic.org.

But, as an added treat... Before the CCC's events get started, the COWs are hosting three community rides, all starting and finishing at the Sul Fuime Festival site. Come join the fun and show our non-COWs guests what Central Oregon cycling hospitality looks like.

This B-Ride version will follow one of Bend's most bike-friendly roads towards the Cascades. From the festival site, we'll wander a bit through neighborhoods, then head out to Tumalo Creek crossing at the end of silky-smooth Skyliners Road. The return route is basically the same--but downhill and faster. Out and back, the ride will extend to just over 22 miles and average a true overall B-pace (11-13 mph).  Since it is an out and back, you can turn around any time you'd like. 

Note: If you prefer a quicker pace and a longer distance, check out the C- and D-paced options, also accessible via the Calendar.

We encourage you to ride your bike to the festival site; there will be a bike corral area to stow your extra gear before the ride and your bike afterwards. If you need to drive, park in the big lot on Simpson, next to the Ice Arena. We'll gather at the crit start/finish line structure on Shevlin Hixon Drive. Be "ready to ride" at the gathering spot for pre-ride check-in at 10:15; we'll leave promptly at 10:30.  

Guests can sign up here or through the CCC website. All non-COWs members will need to sign a waiver. All riders must wear a helmet and be self-supporting. We're strict on safety and good cycling citizenship, so be prepared to ride responsibly. Anyone not following Oregon Cycling Manual and COWs group cycling rules will be asked to leave the ride.
