About the Event

The 17th annual Ride the Plains is a scenic road tour of Jefferson Co, offering 13, 25, 33, 55, 66, and 80 mile fully supported ride options, all starting from Rush Strong School in Strawberry Plains. Super light traffic and beautiful scenery highlight this rolling trek through “the Plains”. All skill level cyclists are welcome—like all Race Day Events rides, RTP is NOT A RACE! Soft cotton shirts guaranteed to all participants.  DeFeet performance socks also, guaranteed to the first 300 registrants. The post-ride Buddy’s BBQ is again the reward at the finish. Great rest stop support provided by the faculty of Rush Strong School, with event proceeds going to that organization. Expected participation--320
