HIGH DESERT & REMOTE GRAVEL ROADS
Average daily temps range between 50-70 degrees with temperatures dipping slightly on Sunday’s course as you ride up to higher elevations in the Cascade Mountain range. The Breakaway Team looks forward to offering outstanding support during your ride at well-stocked aid stations, mechanical support on the course, and after your ride at the Sunday Celebration in Sisters.
The Bend area is home to thousands of miles of remote gravel roads, where deer outnumber cars 10 to 1. June is a great time of year for experiencing the beauty of Central Oregon. The air is clear, the mountains still gleam with white snow and roads have minimal dust factor. Add to that great lodging rates and you have the perfect opportunity to enjoy Bend.
