Long Slow Days Century Bike Ride - SLUG
Slug Long Slow Days – Solstice Dirt Century
Hang your fear at the door.
Join us on Sunday, 6/21, the Summer Solstice. It’s the longest day of the year, and we’re spending all of it outside with you. Our route is 100 miles with 8,000ft. of climbing, the longest Long Slow Day to date.
Leaving shortly after sunrise, we’ll make our way up and over Tam, along Bo Ridge, across the fault line, and out to Mt. Vision. We’ll be greeted with food, beverages, music, and a chance to appreciate where our minds and bodies have taken us.
We’ll spend the solstice exactly how it should be spent: on the ridge, in the valley, and with a group of riders who tuned out the noise and asked, "How do I actually want to ride?". Not up for 100? Join for as long as you’d like. The ferry will greet you at mile 80.

This route is for experienced bike riders who have ridden 50+ mile off-road routes. You must be confident packing food, water, tools, and supplies to be self-supported for 12+ hours. There is significant road riding on this route. Please bring lights and reflectors. Gravel bikes are best, but rung what you brung and review the route.
