The 2020 Blazing Saddles bike ride kicks off on Saturday morning, August 1. It will be held in conjunction with the annual weekend Colville Rendezvous Community Celebration in the City Park. After the ride enjoy the festivities of Colville’s largest festival, including food booths, vendors, and displays of the region’s history and heritage. There will be live bands and performances on two separate stages all day and into the night. Relax after the ride in the Beer Garden. Ride and then Celebrate.
2020 features the HUCKLEBERRY FERRY RIDES: The 100 and 68 milers challenge themselves with an early morning summit climb over the Huckleberry Range, and then a long descent to the shores of Lake Roosevelt. The 68 milers follow the lake north. The 100 milers travel south to catch a free ferry to the other side of the lake and back to join up with the 68 milers. The 45 milers explore the iconic Colville Loop, showcasing the best of the Colville Valley. The Huckleberry Ferry ride was introduced in 2017.
Start and finish of all routes is at the picnic shelter on Elm Street on the west edge of City Park. Each registrant receives a goodie bag that includes a t-shirt. The finish line features great post ride food, but you will also want to explore everything that the Rendezvous Celebration has to offer.
Price is $65 per rider until July 15, and $75 per rider thereafter.
Registration and goodie bag pick-up will be available Friday night, July 31, from 4pm to 6pm at the picnic shelter on Elm St on the west side of the City Park. Linger at the park and enjoy the food, music and beer garden the night before the ride. Day of ride registration is also available up to 30 minutes before the ride.
