After successfully completing this ride in 2018, we knew this gem had to be brought back for 2019. Completing this ride takes SAG support, a team effort and superb individual fitness. Crossing four states and an international border while traversing diverse terrain including some mile gravel sesctions, combined that with unpredictable weather will challenge you at every pedal stroke. Each of the three days offer unique challenges, terrain and scenery.
