On Sunday, Sept. 9, 600 riders will embark on a challenging event, leading them through the beautiful Gifford Pinchot National Forest, including the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. Starting from Packwood, Washington, cyclists will climb over 7,500 feet in elevation gain over 114 miles. The halfway point is at scenic Windy Ridge, overlooking the Mount St. Helen's blast zone.

Registration is limited to 600 cyclists. Don't delay, register today for the High Pass Challenge, the marquee event of the Cascade Bicycle Club's High Performance Cycling Team.
