Lewis & Clark Ultra

Memorial Day Weekend

When: May 26 - 27, 2012 in Vancouver, Washington

What: The Lewis & Clark Ultra 12/24 is a bicycle time trial race where participants can race continuously for either 12, or 24 hours. The participant who logs the most miles in each time period wins. Come on out and participate or support your local cyclists!

Where: The race will begin at the Hockinson Middle School. Racers will wend their way over rolling hills and beautiful farmland to the Washougal River Road and then east on the Lewis & Clark Highway through the majestic Columbia River Gorge and past the famed Bonneville Dam. Along the way they will have magnificent views of Mt. Hood and the Cascade mountain range. At the Carson Hot Springs riders will turn north up the Wind River Highway to the moderate 3,000 foot climb of Old Man Pass before screaming down Curly Creek Road to the Swift Reservoir. Be sure to look up at the breathtaking view of Mt. St. Helens. On their way back to the finish line they will be mesmerized by the color of the Lewis River, and soak up the lush, dense forest of the Mt. St. Helens National Monument.

How: The long loop is 144 miles and at least 6,600 feet of climbing. The short loop is a mere 10 miles.

Labor Day Weekend

In the spirit of the famed Meriwether Lewis & William Clark, explore the land. Grab your trusty steed, a friend and a vehicle and come out to the first Lewis & Clark Ride-N-Tie. Be the fastest team to cover the 180 miles (or so) course and win.

Explore new lands - or at least new roads.

When:
September 1, 2012

Where:
Last year's route started in Carson, WA, and finishing in Hood River, OR., taking the Loooong way.

This year's route is currently undetermined and will not be divulged until shortly before the start date. However, it will be similar and travel through or near the Gorge.

What is this?
The L&C Ride-N-Tie is a fun, adventure-based, semi-competitive bike race that uses speed, endurance, strategy, intuition, and a vehicle.

How does it work?
Very simply, Rider “A” starts and follows the course, the vehicle passes him/her and parks ahead and Rider “B” gets out and rides. When Rider “A” get to the car s/he will get in and drive past Rider “B” and stop at a strategic location to maximize their average speed. This continues until the finish line.

The L&C Ride-N-Tie involves strategy, luck, ability to properly interpret your partner’s speed on all terrains, efficiency and even fast bike riding. Some “pulls” will only be 10 minutes long while others could be as long as an hour.

So come and explore your abilities to think, guess and ride a bike in new and interesting terrain.
