Cycle Chelan

The Lake Chelan Rotary Club invites you to experience Cycle Chelan. There is something for every rider as you can choose from Cycle Di Vino, Butte Blast, The Lake Loop, and The Century Challenge.

Cycle di Vino

30 miles
A beginner-intermediate ride along the shores of Lake Chelan with special stops at many valley wineries.

The Butte Blast

15/30 miles
A gravel ride along the slopes of the iconic Chelan Butte. The thirty-mile option features over 5,000 feet of vertical climb.

The Lake Loop

50 miles
An intermediate ride covering both shores of Lake Chelan with a scenic leg up the south shore to 25-mile creek state park.

The Century Challenge

100 miles
This legendary event is a cloverleaf route passing through orchards and vineyards into the mountainous terrain surrounding Lake Chelan, one of the world’s most spectacular glacial carved lakes with some of Washington State’s most impressive scenery.

Each leaf is completely different:

Loop 1 is 39.4 miles long with an elevation gain of 3995ft (including McNeil Canyon)

Loop 2 is 32.5 miles in length with an elevation gain of 2380ft

Loop 3 is 29.3 miles long with an elevation gain of 1945ft.

Each loop combines challenging hills with captivating scenery. The signature climb is McNeil Canyon – this climb is 6 miles long starting at 850ft and finishing at 3100ft. It is rated as a “Cat 1” climb, and the ascent will be timed with age-group prizes for the fastest times. Riders should ride all three loops in sequence, but are free to ride only the first loop or two of the loops in combination if they wish.
