The ride is non-competitive, un-timed, and appropriate for all ages, and is a very popular event with lots of riders who return every year. Helmets are required. It starts and ends at the Lake Quinault School in Amanda Park.  The route goes from the school to North Shore Road, up to the Park bridge and back down the South Shore Road and back to the school.  The route is approximately 30 miles, with half being paved roadway and the other half well-packed gravel.  Riders get to experience the beautiful Quinault valley in it’s full glory, with beautiful views, wildlife sightings and lots of fresh air to enjoy.  There are comfort stations at 2 spots along the route which provide bathroom facilities, snacks and water. “Sag wagons” patrol the route as well, ready to offer assistance or a ride to anyone in need.  Food services, lodging and camping are available at various locations at the lake.

T-shirts are available for an additional $10 each. Pre-registration is not required, but is recommended if you want to be sure of a t-shirt, as a limited number are made each year.  You can call 360-580-1206 or email mgstamon@comcast.net for additional information or to obtain a registration form.
