• Limited to: 200 riders Participants
• E-bikes allowed with 10 hours added to time
• Grande - Our idea of heaven may be just a touch hellish, and 85 miles and 6300' of climbing, the legs will be burning for sure, especially this early in the season. Things get real just 10 miles in with a couple of Tri Cities' classic (gravel) climbs, Badger Cyn, and McBee. You will recover from those efforts as you "float" through the Horse Heaven Hills on a series of punchy on again and off again gravel climbs.

• Oh are you in for a treat, this one is spectacular! 88 miles and 7500' of climbing kicking things off descending into the vast Klickitat River Canyon. You will then begin to claw your way out on the relentlessly twisting, winding gravel climb, out to the rolling prairie of the Centerville hwy, with massive views of the canyon, and the descent into Lyle. Here you will begin the gravel Fisher Hill climb with (you guessed it) absolutely amazing views! Then it's on to some rollers, and the Wahkiacus Heights descent, check those brakes, it rips! Finally, it is the crown jewel Horseshoe Bend climb and the home stretch back to Goldendale.

• Peshastin, WA
• E-bikes allowed with 10 hours added to time
• Distances: 40, 82 miles
• Limited to: 200 riders Participants
• Difficulty: Yep this one is a bruiser, BIG climbs and BIG descents, much of which are on rough and rowdy forest service roads. Start/Finish in Leavenworth, we get rolling on the beautiful North Rd into the first major climb, Derby Canyon. Check the profile, you'll see three major climbs, the Van Creek climb (number two) will be the high point of the course, it's a long gravel forest service road climb, not uncommon to still have a few patches of snow on top. Followed by a fast and downhill that can be a bit chucky with occasional washboard. You'll have a sector of pavement mid ride to keep the handlebars curly, then the crown jewel (conditions permitting) the Swakane climb. This one is brutal, exposed and potentially hotter than the surface of the sun, eventually climbing up, into trees, but as rough and challenging as they come. The final descent is equally challenging, tight and technical, back down to Eagle Cr and the home stretch.
• Located in the heart of the Washington Cascades, Gran Fondo Leavenworth is the perfect mix of pavement, Forest Service roads, and mega mountain passes!

Highway 90 Grindy - 6/6/2026 (Confirmed)

• Cle Elum, WA
• e-Bike friendly
• Distances: 26, 53, 90 miles
• Difficulty: At 90 miles and 7900' of climbing, not only does this one have a lot of climbing, it has a lot of gravel, 60 miles worth. The ride rolls out on Upper Peoh Point to Thorp, then on to the Palouse to Cascades gravel path (bring a headlight for the tunnels) for a nice gentle rolling warm up, but around the 41 mile mark the real climbing begins. Up FS3350 which is a beautiful, winding gravel climb up to the top of So Cle Elum Ridge, then down the backside to Taneum junction, onto FS3300, where you will begin to stair step your way back up to the top of So Cle Elum Ridge, with massive views along the ridge in all directions. Check your brakes, the mega descent down 4510 means business, fast and chucky, with breathtaking views to distract you. From there you hop back on to the Palouse to Cascades trail for a (well deserved) gentle grade back to the finish in So Cle Elum.
• Getting grindy high above I90, this one has it all, fast roady stuff, epic climbs, and spicy descents, all conveniently located in the I90 corridor.
