Come join us for an exciting gravel cycling race in beautiful Montague, California! Each route has breathtaking views of Mt. Shasta and consists of about 50/50 gravel and pavement. The fast pavement sectors connect the ten challenging gravel sectors, including the infamous “Jeep Road.” The race is built like a spring classic with sectors of Northern California gravel in place of European cobblestones. This course stands out with its rolling wide open roads and two major climbs totaling 4,700 feet of climbing. Race to win or win by riding your first century.

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.”
