"Welcome Back Ben" Ride!

Advertisement

Got a "quick release" for you! Join us for a special social ride next Sunday, July 13 at 9AM, rolling out from Independence's Riverview Park, to celebrate the return of our good friend, Benjamin Handrich, after completing one of the most iconic bikepacking routes, the Tour Divide!

He crushed the 2,712-mile route in 15 days, 14 hours, 56 minutes (roughly 175mi/day!!!), and finished near the front of the pack in spot #12 amongst an international field!

There's only so much that can be squeezed in here, so come out for the ride for a first-hand take from Ben (or check out some of the breakdown on his Strava). We will leave specifically from the Riverview Park main parking lot down by the river and do a mixed-terrain route out to Baskett Slough. After the ride, we'll head out for a bite in town for those who'd like to stick around.

More on the way, including the official route. Hope to see you there!
-Ramon
