includes four scenic loops of 35, 50, 65 or 100 miles. The tour begins =

and ends at George Fox University in Newberg. The course will open at 6am =

and century riders should start before 8am. The cost to ride is $42 per =

person if preregistered or $52 day of the ride. Fee includes T-shirt, =

ride ammenities, with a post ride party that includes a delicious meal and =

a chance to win great prizes starting at 2pm. I encourage you to consider =
