2024 ROUTE PREVIEW

We have an amazing new route in store for you – both gorgeous and challenging. This year's route will take seven days to complete rather than the typical six. An extra day doing the thing you love! We’re going to be riding through verdant valleys, past rushing rivers, through hushed Redwood forests, over mountains and alongside dramatic, rocky coastline, from Willamette Valley in Oregon to Russian River Valley in California. Oh, and we just might be riding by a few vineyards along the way. It is going to be epic.

Will it be spicy? It will.

But this multi-day tour will also be entirely doable as long as you take it seriously, properly train for it and ride with your fellow Fireflies in groups. You will be riding 630+ miles and climbing 35,000+ feet over those 7 days.

TIMING details:

9/26/24 - Fly into Eugene, OR (or neighboring airport, e.g. Portland)
We need all riders to be at a 2pm check in for a safety/security briefing

9/27/24 - Depart Eugene, OR

10/3/24 - Arrive Healdsburg, CA

10/4/24 - Fly out of Santa Rosa, CA (or neighboring airport, e.g. SFO or Oakland)

If you are one of the lucky few to be chosen for a saddle, you will be committing to:

  • Raising at least $4,000 for City of Hope cancer research

  • Paying the approx. $2,000 rider fee*, which covers lodging, a jersey, shared meals and tour support costs

  • Devoting the required amount of time from now until the tour to train and to learn proper etiquette, especially how to ride in a group

  • Showing up with the right attitude, respecting the tour volunteers and tour veterans who you’ll meet and ride with over the next 8 months

* We have a small number of grants available for riders who are selected for saddles but need help paying the fee.
