The 10th Annual Art of Survival Century Bicycle Ride is an opportunity to learn about a region that includes Southern Oregon’s Klamath Basin and Northern California’s Tulelake Basin and Butte Valley area. What is unique about this event—which is a ride, not a race—is that at each rest stop offers educational components and/or ranger or historian led talks highlighting the cultural history, geography, environmental issues and geology of the area.  Along with providing fluids and nutritious snacks at the rest stops, riders will have opportunities to learn about the areas they’re passing through.

Gravel routes are based out of Dorris, CA 74 Miles (42% gravel) 54 Miles (35% gravel) 13 Mile Family Route  (50% gravel)

For those of you that experienced the Medium and Long Road Bike Routes last year, you will find this route somewhat familiar.  In a backwards kind of way. We are flipping the route so that you may see how different it is riding the route backwards. Cyclists who chose the medium or long route will head west towards Lakeview climbing out of Adel in the high desert plateau eventually dropping down to the “Plush Cutoff” road. We wanted to reward you before the climbing got crazy with an up-close view of Deep Creek Falls just 2 ¾ miles out of Adel.  Stop and enjoy.

Since 1986, the Northwest Tandem Rally has been bringing you premiere destination rides throughout Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and British Columbia. Drawing hundreds of tandem teams from around the nation, the rally is hosted in a new city venue each year and is organized by local cycling advocates and clubs.
The NWTR exists to bring together tandem bicycle enthusiasts once a year to promote bicycle tourism, camaraderie, and to raise funds for bicycle infrastructure and awareness.

Experience breathtaking scenic views, expansive open fields, and gentle rolling hills with minimal interruptions from traffic lights. What's more, a significant portion of your entry fee directly supports Bicycle Education & Safety programs in the MVBC's Willamette Valley community.

Since 1978, the Tour of the Unknown Coast has been called one of California’s toughest century rides, and among the most beautiful routes anywhere. Starting in the historic town of Ferndale, the course passes through towering redwoods, over coastal mountains and along the rim of the Pacific Ocean. Those who favor a less strenuous adventure will enjoy the Avenue of the Giants 100K ride. This route offers a tour through the farmland in the Eel River delta, a glimpse into the history of the timber industry in the area, and a taste of the redwoods that this area is famous for. 

A Variety of Rides. Curated rides to show what the Umpqua Valley has to offer. Four distances to choose from 17 to 100 miles.
