 The courses are:
· The Kiddie Ice Cream Cruise, takes you down to the Port of Gold Beach for an ice cream break and then back to the Curry County Fairgrounds. This flat and fun 3-mile ride is designed for the youngsters, but face it, it sounds like fun for grown-ups, too.
· The 15-mile River Route, which takes you along the lush south bank of the Rogue River to a Riders' Rest Stop on Jerry's Flat Road before returning to the Fairgrounds. The 13-mile River Route is relatively flat with a couple of rolling hills.
  · The 25-mile Riverside Ramble, which takes you across the historic Isaac Lee Patterson Bridge and then up the north bank of the Rogue River, and then back down the south bank. The 25-mile Riverside Ramble boasts a few rolling hills with just enough elevation gain to get your heart pumping. There are two Riders' Rest Stops along this route.
  ·   The 60-mile South Coast Tour showcases three diverse ecoclimates that Oregon's South Coast offers, taking the Riverside Ramble and adding in a loop through picturesque Cedar Valley and the historic Old Coast Highway along the Pacific Ocean. This beautiful ride sports a few rolling hills as well as three or four short climbs. There are three Riders' Rest Stops on the South Coast Tour.
 ·   The 100-mile Coastal Challenge begins with a ride down US Coastal Highway 101 over Capes Sebastian and Ferrello returning through the quaint villages of Carpenterville and Pistol River to lunch at the Curry County Fairgrounds. Riders then continue along the Rogue River, through Cedar Valley, and back to the Fairgrounds on the historic Old Coast Highway along the Pacific Ocean. This route has five Riders' Rest Stops and boasts the most ambitious climbing with over 5000 feet of total elevation gain.
 Each road route has a separate starting time. The 60-mile South Coast Tour and the 25-mile Riverside Ramble are timed so they will finish together. A nice family program would be for the more ambitious rider to do the South Coast Tour and the other rider do the Riverside Ramble. They could meet up at the Historic Isaac Lee Patterson Bridge and continue on together.

The weather on the Oregon Coast in September is usually wonderful; look for clear skies, high temperatures in the mid-60's with a northwest wind of around 15 mph. All routes are designed to take advantage of the coastal wind as well as the calmer conditions inland.

Other FUN Stuff:
New for this year, our very popular souvenir t-shirt has been upgraded! The 2008 shirt is made of a technical Poly-Microfiber, wicking fabric giving you a soft comfortable feel that will last considerably longer than cotton. And we were able to keep the price the same! Only $19.00 each, but make sure you order when you register, we don't order many more than we have spoken for through pre-registration. They're sure to sell out.
Wanna new bike? We are raffling off a brand new limited edition New Belgium Cruiser. This is the bike you see on the label of the official beer of the  Oregon Coast Cycling Festival ~ Fat Tire Amber Ale... Raffle tickets are only $1.00 each or 10 for $7.50.
The Gold Beach Brew and Art Fest will be taking place concurrently with the Cycling Festival at the Curry County Fairgrounds.
