13th Annual Art of Survival Century Bicycle Ride
The 13th Annual Art of Survival Century Bicycle Ride returns to the Oregon-California border region over Memorial Day weekend, May 22–24, 2026, offering two days of fully supported road and gravel cycling through some of the most scenic and uncrowded landscapes in the West. Camping and RV parking is available on site.
The three-day event features two days of riding. Saturday includes four paved road route options, while Sunday offers three mixed-surface routes focused on gravel riding. Riders can expect full event support, including frequent rest stops, snacks and meals, clearly marked courses and friendly volunteer assistance throughout the weekend.
Hundreds of cyclists from across the country will ride through quiet countryside and two national treasures: the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge and Lava Beds National Monument. Routes explore Southern Oregon’s Klamath Basin along with Northern California’s Tulelake Basin and Butte Valley region. Each rest stop highlights what makes the area unique, featuring information on local geology, cultural history, geography and environmental issues.
“The stunning springtime scenery and uncrowded backroads draw riders here for Memorial Day Weekend year after year,” said volunteer event directors Linda and Ryan. “Our rural hospitality is something people remember and return for.”
