Important Changes to In-Person Routes
Further Updates

To ensure we have a truly safe event we have changed the routes for this year. All ride lengths will now circle through Washington County and will begin and end at Countryside Community Church in Sherwood. Please note the location of our start & finish line is a further change as we will no longer start and end in Hillsboro. Along with your safety, our priority is to also get the summer cycling season in Oregon off to a terrific start, so please check here for details about our Revised New Routes, Start Times and Packet Pick-Up. (Packets must be picked up in advance of Ride Day). Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
