Cascade Gravel on June 1st, the second event in the Oregon Gravel Series, is one of the most scenic and diverse gravel events in the country. Located in Sisters, Oregon the event will provide an amazing ride through the Central Oregon high desert and Cascade Mountain Range. Cascade Gravel gives riders a spectacular Sunday ride with three different ride options, challenging riders with the breath-taking climbs within the beauty of Central Oregon Cascade Mountains. 

Hosted by Breakaway Promotions, this premier gravel cycling event promises scenic routes, challenging terrain, and an unforgettable post-ride celebration in the heart of the Cascade Mountain Range.

The Cascade Gravel offers three distinct ride options tailored to accommodate everyone from novice cyclists to seasoned pros. Participants can choose from the 41-mile Small Gravel, the 60-mile Medium Gravel, or the 89-mile Big Gravel, each designed to showcase the stunning landscapes of the Central Oregon high desert.

“Whether you’re a competitive racer or just looking to enjoy a scenic ride, the Cascade Gravel has something for everyone,” said Chad Sperry, CEO from Breakaway Promotions. “Our goal is to create an inclusive atmosphere where riders can challenge themselves while soaking in the natural beauty of the Cascades.”

With average temperatures ranging from 50 to 70 degrees in early June, riders can expect comfortable conditions. However, participants should be prepared for cooler temperatures at higher elevations. The Breakaway Team is committed to ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience, with well-stocked aid stations located every 20-25 miles along the course and mechanical support available on-site.

The post-ride festivities will be held at Village Green Park, where riders can unwind at the Lightstrike/New Belgium Post-Ride Celebration. Attendees can look forward to a delicious catered lunch by Spin Catering, music, a beer garden, and a variety of entertainment options to celebrate their accomplishments.

Registration for the Cascade Gravel includes chip timing, a commemorative T-shirt, a pint glass, a Cascade Gravel badge, well-stocked aid stations, mechanical support, and a celebratory lunch and beer at the Sunday event. Competitive categories will include pro, open, junior, and masters and masters plus, with awards presented to the top three finishers in each category.
