Welcome to Pastry-Bike-Pastry 8!

Take your pick between 100, 65, 50, or 25 mile routes of self-supported, mixed-terrain cycling adventures featuring several checkpoints stocked with donuts sourced from local bakeries.

100 mile registrants roll from the shop at 8 am on the day of the event. Everyone else will leave at 10 am. All routes occur on public, unclosed roads. Emergency personnel will be here at the start to briefly close down the first road to ensure all riders leave safely together. After that point, all riders are required to abide by the rules of the road especially
during the more suburban portions of each route.

Routes will consist mainly of gravel and pavement roads, with some surprises thrown in. 32mm or larger tires are recommended.
Pastry-Bike-Pastry is a self-supported ride, which means all you will find at checkpoints are donuts, water, and enthusiasm, the rest is up to you! (Those who select our 100 mile route should expect a 55 mile gap between their 2nd and 3rd ***official*** donut checkpoints, please think ahead, be aware of the weather the day of the event, and be responsible).

Registration gets you access to all 4 electronic route files and/or printed cue sheets, donuts, entry into raffles, and [a party to follow the ride including music and food]. Links to the electronic route files and parking information will be emailed to all registered participants one week prior to the event date.

Registration closes April 28th, 2024 at 11:59 pm, or when the event is full. Day-of registration will not be offered.
