Pedalin’ the Plains is a 16-mile, relatively flat road route.

Crusin’ the Coulees is 34 miles of moderate hills, flats, and beautiful valleys.

Hammerin’ the Hills is 60 miles of hills, two major climbs, plains and gorgeous valleys.

Riders will receive a free T-shirt, rest stop refreshments, sag wagon support and free lunch.

Registration begins at 7 a.m. with a mass start at 8 a.m. Costs range from $10 to $20 for registration, before June 7, to $15 to $25 for registration the day of the ride.
