And for the most serious of you, here is the 50-mile road route. Revised this year based on your feedback and an added feature with a SAG stop at Sister Lakes Brewing Company! SAG fare on us, mid-ride beer is on you. As always though, the post ride beer is on us back at Love Creek Nature Center & County Park!

OK Roadies, it's your turn. Here is the 25 mile road route. Perfect for a casual ride with your friends or smash it out if you are pressed for time. Either way, you'll get the same rolling hills, wine country, fall color and quiet backroads.

Our longest gravel road option is the 35-miler. You get the best gravel in the area and some spectacular scenery along the way. And that post-ride beer will taste so much better knowing you stepped up to the challenge!

Today we look at the 20-mile gravel road route. This one starts getting serious with a couple of punchy climbs and beautiful views along the river. This route is your choice if you are looking for a challenge but don't want to be on your bike all day.

09/08/2026

This week, we shall feature our route options. We'll start with the 13-mile gravel route. Perfect for the casual but adventurous cyclist, or someone new to gravel riding. No gravel bike? Ride your mountain bike.
