Routes: 100, 62 and 40 miles The 2019 Blazing Saddles bike ride kicks off on Saturday morning, August 3. 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.
2019 will be a rerun of the of the NORTH COLUMBIA RIDE, the Blazing Saddles’ original route and most popular. The 100 milers will head north on the beautiful Northport-Flat Creek road along the northwest shore of Lake Roosevelt to the bridge at Northport, and then return along the lake. Cycling does not get any more spectacular than this ride. The metric century riders head to the Onion Creek hills, and return along the lake. The 40 milers take the “Evans cut off” directly to the lake and return via the same world class scenery as the others.
Cost: $65-75
