Alpine Century Ride is your opportunity for a ride through some of Oregon's wild and scenic beauty, challenging ascents and descents, fresh local food served to you at the end, and supporting rural Alpine Community Center. The 50-mile or 100-mile route include 4000 ft elevation gain and loss, plus the chance to ride the gorgeous Alsea Scenic Byway and Lobster Valley Road. Local volunteers love serving you snacks at the rest stops and a terrific fresh lunch at the end. Your registration supports the low-cost pre-school, recycling center, community garden, and other programs at Alpine Community Center. Pre-register before August 6 to be included in the drawing. Pre-registration continues to August 11.

Experienced and caring staff provide support at rest stops, signage warns motorists, and friendly SAG support cruises the loop to provide assistance all along the route, with friendly people and great food awaiting you after a nice ride on a warm summer day.
