Every year, Cascade Bicycle Club hosts official food stops for riders and the money from registration fees distribute approximately $100,000 in donations across those organizations, plus all of the individual contributions. The cancelation of the ride means that all of our partner organizations are also struggling to meet annual fundraising goals. Cascade Bicycle Club has been supported by some of these organizations for decades and we will continue to support them through this challenge. STP does not happen without them and they are so important to our future.

COVID-19 Guidelines for participating in Virtual STP

Know the phase of reopening in your locale. This challenge will be taking place all over the world and everyone's restrictions will be different.

Plan your route well in advance and know what's open or closed along your route.

Consider doing loops from your home so that your "pit stops" are always back home. Avoid multiple stops at locations to refuel, rehydrate. Don't take unnecessary risks like attempting a solo, unsupported, 100-mile ride. 3 x 33-mile loops from your home is much safer!

Wear a mask if riding with others and follow your local COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines.

Remember to Recreate Responsibly.
