THE MOST UNIQUE ENDURANCE CYCLING EVENT IN THE UNITED STATES.

Ride, Race, or Relay over epic all-terrain courses that include paved roads, remote gravel, and stellar single-track. Transition from bike to bike, complete the entire course on a single bike of your choice, or team up to divide and conquer in our relay race.
Born on the dirt trails, gravel roads, and paved grades to the west of Bend, Oregon, The Best of Both weekend presents the ultimate test of a bike rider’s skill, endurance, and sense of adventure. Our courses navigate the stunning terrain to the northwest of Bend, and our formats provide unique options for the use of multiple bikes, or a single bike, over all-terrain. And for those who wish to share the load, the Best of Both Relays enable riders to team up – one rides on the road, one rides off the road.

Riders can choose from a series of competitive and recreational formats. We strive to deliver a challenging, rewarding, and accessible bike riding experience catering to a variety of age groups and experience levels.

Pack your bikes and bring the family to the most unique cycling event in the United States, nestled on the eastern slopes of the cascade mountains in beautiful Bend, Oregon.
