On this beautiful fall ride, you'll pass through Yamhill valley wineries, glimpse breathtaking views of Mt. Hood & the coast range, and find yourself in unexpected places right outside city centers. New for 2010 - Each route enjoys a rest stop at Montinore Vineyard where $5 cash gets you a tasting of 5 out of all 16 of their wine selections. See something you like? Purchase it on the spot and we'll haul it back to the start line for you.
A scenic, relatively flat course scattered with heart pumping climbs and descents (2200 ft. overall elevation gain). After lunch, enjoy a peaceful ride on the Canby Ferry. The shorter daylight hours and afternoon headwind makes the century a fun way to test your season’s training by maintaining a recommended 12-15-mph pace. Riders must depart lunch stop at mile 42 by 12:30pm to do the full century. You can easily opt at mile 43 for the shorter, but just as beautiful, 75-mile route - particularly if you choose to relax at the winery earlier in the day!
