*Course cut-offs will be set for all riders to finish at the expo by 5 pm. Cut-off information will be published in the rider guide.
THE COURSES
The Gorge Gravel is a mix of pavement and packed gravel. Gravel roads are good to excellent in condition. Suggest tires are 35's-40's! Plan to use strong tubes- this is not the time to go ultralight. Suggested gearing is a11-25.
​
Mt. View Cycles will be on hand to assist you with new tires and tubes prior to the race should you need to purchase some last-minute tread. Please either see them at Packet Pick-Up on Saturday night or arrive early on Sunday. Gravel sections are in great shape and can be ridden with confidence.
​
AID STATIONS
Well-stocked Aid Stations are located every 20 miles along the course. Mt. View Cycles will be at the start and on course with tubes, tires, tire pump and assistance. Aid stations will be filled with Tailwind Nutrition hydration, energy gels, bananas, peanut butter, granola bars, and other great snacks as well as the innovative Breakaway Hydration Trailer for the fastest water fills possible.
