ABOUT THE RIDE: The 31st annual Mid-Valley Bicycle Club Crater Lake Tour is scheduled for the weekend of August 22-24, 2008. 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. This year the National Park System has placed a limit on the number of riders who may participate in the Rim Ride. Please register early to guarantee a space. The ride on Saturday, August 23rd, 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 M.V.B.C. 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 an elevation 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 or exiting the park. This fee is $5.00 per bike or $10.00 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.
