Biking on Century Drive



Century Drive from Mt. Bachelor to Bend is not in great shape. Between now and race day the road will be swept, but not much else will be done to fill the pot holes and cracks.

If you ride with awareness of the surface you will have safe and enjoyale ride down the mountain. Here are some tips to make your ride safer:
  1. Preview the course. It's a nice ride. If you can, ride the course before race day.
  2. Keep your haed up and look down the road. You need to see potholes and cracks early enough that you can smoothly and safely ride around them.
  3. Avoid sudden changes of direction. You will have other bikes around you. Ride a straight line, don't swerve, turn, or do any sudden movements that could create a safety hazard for people around you.

Is there a place in Bend to rent or borrow a road bike for the bike leg?? And can we have an individual for each leg of the race as a team??
