GOOD TIMES IN WALDPORT

About the event

Start your season with this epic Pacific Northwest spring classic at the coast. This gravel cycling event showcases the raw beauty of ancient Siuslaw National Forests and is geared towards the enthusiast cyclist looking for a well-marked and supported event. A good day of gravel riding with friends amid an enchanting forest is in store on the Oregon Coast.

Staging from the charming town of Waldport, Oregon, our meticulously crafted routes consist of a perfect blend of 65% unpaved logging roads (which happen to be our absolute favorite, by the way!) and 35% smooth pavement. Brace yourself for an extraordinary adventure as you immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty that gets better with every turn.

Take on the 60-mile Abomination or the 37-mile Son of Abomination route. There’s also the opportunity to make it a double-header weekend with the West Coast Gravel event on Sunday in Yachats, only 8.5 miles south. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to embrace the true essence of spring in the Pacific Northwest. Join us and let the magic of this coastal gem leave an indelible mark on your cycling experience.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WELL-STOCKED AID STATIONS

We love to keep you rolling and with two fully-stocked aid stations for the shorter loop and three for the longer loop, we don’t stop at PB and J sandwiches. Look for Hammer Nutrition supplies along with a host of salty, savory, and sweet offerings at all aid stations, plus mechanical support.

THE SWAG

We are not quite sure you can see the socks on the rider above, but they are the DeFeet Woolie Boolie socks, which are the best socks PERIOD for your spring cycling season. We love them so much we give you a pair. We also have custom Oregon Coast Gravel Epic shirts and trucker hats for sale and include a Hammer Nutrition bag with supplies.

COMPETING WITH YOUR FRIENDS

We want everyone to have a quality time, whether you’re racing against your rival from the previous season or riding with friends. With 10 age groups and 2 routes, we’ll see many of you on the podium. And if you aren’t setting your sights on the podium, you’ll get to spend even more time enjoying the epic scenery.

POST RIDE FOOD

We were going to place a picture of a burrito or brisket or some local seafood that you can use your $12 food voucher on, but we opted to show more delicious gravel instead. However, we will tell you that you or your traveling partner can use your voucher either on-site at our two food trucks or locally in Waldport or Yachats Friday through Sunday at select establishments.
