Seven Feathers Casino Resort, nestled among tall Douglas firs and pine trees just off Interstate 5, at exit 99, in Canyonville, Oregon, is where the Takelma Gravel Grinder starts. Riders will ride the 57-mile Bold ride with 55% gravel. The ride begins inside the casino (first time ever), before rolling towards the town of Canyonville and onto rural Tiller Trail Hwy. Passing farm and ranch landscapes along the South Umpqua River, soon we’re on to the gravel experience with our first climb of the ride. A challenging KOM climbing effort with an average gain of 9%, then cresting to a spectacular valley view of Days Creek.
The riders start the KOM at mile 15 through Mile 21 and, continue to Chief Miwaleta Park, where refreshments await, before finishing the timed portion 13 miles from the Casino and then returning to Seven Feathers Casino Resort.
During the ride, aid stations with electrolyte drinks and other items will be provided. Bike support is offered on the course, as well as SAG vehicles. Upon completion, riders can wash off and relax at the Squatchee Fest, enjoying food and beverage from the Seven Feathers Food Truck, compliments of the race organizers.
