Race Across Oregon & RAO 260
​​July 16-18, 2022

Picture
27 years and counting.  Race Across Oregon is the second oldest RAAM Qualifier in the World. It is also one of the most challenging and was designated a WUCA 500 mile North American Ultra-Distance Championship for 2021. This year's route features our 500 mile loop course with some 37,000 feet of climbing.  We also offer a 260 mile version as well!

Ring of Fire 6/12/24
​September 9-10, 2022

Picture
As it's looking like 2021 will feature mostly time trials throughout the racing season, we've decided to renew the Ring of Fire 6/12/24.  You're not going to get anywhere close to a 6-12 or 24 hour PR as these courses challenge all your skills as a rider.  However, you're riding through beautiful terrain with little to no traffic.  RoF is just a fun weekend of racing, riding and hanging out with friends.  Isn't that what we need after 2020?
​More info on the way as this comes together.

Deschutes Double
​May 7, 2022

Deschutes Double
The perfect kick off to your ultra season!  The Deschutes Double originated as a 200 mile training loop for RAAM and RAW prep.  It then became our end of season celebration ride.  Now it is my favorite pre RAW training loop.  And by "training" I mean "racing".  Starting and finishing at The Imperial River Company with untrafficked roads and 17,000 feet of climb, the Deschutes Double is not to be missed.

Deschutes River Valley Time Trial Stage Race
​April        23-24,      2022

Picture
The only Time Trial Stage Race in the country that we know of!  DRVTT offers three challenging time trial courses originating near The Imperial River Company in Maupin, OR.   Saturday brings our 26 mile loop which tests all your skills as a racer.  You'll have a few hours to rest up for the Saturday afternoon 8 mile Hillclimb.  Sunday morning brings with it the 47.5 mile out and back from IRC to Bakeoven Summit to IRC.  Stick around for the highly unprofessional awards party post race.

The Natchez Trace 444
September 30 - October 2, 2022

Picture
I first rode on the Natchez Trace Parkway during the 1994 Southern PAC Tour.  I rode a section of it again during both the 2000 and 2002 Race Across America.  I loved the Trace and often thought of directing an event that traveled the 444 mile length.  My opportunity came in 2014 when we met with the National Park Service and created The Natchez Trace 444.  No turns, no stop signs and no traffic lights while traveling the longest, narrowest National Park in the country.  You have 44 hours to complete the ride and qualify for the Race Across America.

​Cascade Ultra
August      2022

Picture
Cascade Ultra has been revived!  So happy to be putting on a RAAM Qualifier in the Seattle, WA area.  CU starts and finishes in Arlington, WA.  The route travels to near the Canadian border and is a nice mix of flats and climbs.  Well, there's more climbing than flat as you cross back and forth across the Cascade Range.  Temps will be warm during the day and chilly at night so come prepared.

We look forward to seeing you on the road!
