Crater Lake Rim Tour
August 24 - 26, 2012 - Diamond Lake / Crater Lake
About the ride
The 35th annual Mid-Valley Bicycle Club Crater Lake Rim Tour is scheduled for Saturday, August 25, 2012. Come join us for a breathtaking ride around one of Oregon’s most scenic wonders. We have reserved camping on the southeast side of Diamond Lake at Broken Arrow Campground August 24-26. There is a limit on the number of riders who may participate in the Rim Ride, so please register early to guarantee a space. The ride on Saturday, August 25th, is designed to start and end at Diamond Lake for a total trip distance of 61 miles. Some riders may elect to drive to the rim and then ride the rim only, for a total distance of 34 miles. Transportation to and from the rim will not be provided by MVBC. Most riders choose to ride back to the campground from the rim for an exhilarating finale. Good physical conditioning and alpine gearing (25-inch low gear) are recommended since the ride is quite hilly and at elevations greater than 6200 feet. All riders must wear a helmet. The ride fee includes map, route description, SAG stops, and a camping spot for two nights. The campground has flush toilets and showers. An additional fee is required by the National Park Service on entering the park. This fee is $5 per bike or $10 per motor vehicle, payable at the park entrance gate. Campsites, SAG stops and permission to ride in the National Park are not guaranteed for late registrants.
