HOW DOES IT WORK?

We've given you GPS coordinates for all 5 checkpoints. It's up to you decide how best to get to each checkpoint, and in what order (expect to ride around 60-70km).

Hit all 5 checkpoints, or hit just a couple, it's up to you. Every checkpoint you reach earns you Scrabble tiles. Collect them as you ride, then build your best word on our community board back at Bici for a shot at prizes from Easton, Bici, and Love Machine.

Not super familiar with the area? No problem, just ask and we'll give you a route map. But it will feature one of the more difficult routes possible.

Head back to Bici by 2PM for post-ride snacks, giveaways, a complimentary beer from our friends at 33 Acres Brewing, and a solid hang with our local gravel community.
