Bulldog Grand Tour

Location: Provo, Utah

Description: This event is a fundraiser for Provo High School in Provo, Utah. Our School is 100 years old and in honor of that we are hosting a 100 mile bike ride along with other activities throughout the year to raise $100,000. We are also raising money for cancer research. Some very close individuals to us here at Provo High School are suffering with cancer and some have even been taken from us by cancer. We hope through our efforts this 100th anniversary we can benefit both our students and those struggling with cancer.

Route: 100, 50 or 20 miles routes leaving from Provo High School. The route then circles the Provo High School boundaries. For the 100 and 50 mile rides it then heads down through Springville over toward West Mountain. The 50 mile ride then returns to Provo High and the 100 mile heads around the West Mountain and then back to Provo High School. The map may be found on our website.

Hatfield West Trailhead, just east of Hood River, and back again; a total of 39 miles, but because it’s an out-and-back, you can make it any distance you wish.

This is a fundraiser. All proceeds to toward restoring and reconnecting abandoned segments of the Historic Highway so that, hopefully by its 100th birthday, June 7, 2016, you will be able to bike its entire 73 mile length from Troutdale to The Dalles, OR without having to be on Interstate I-84!

The terrain really isn’t tough — the HCRH was built with no grades exceeding 5%. (Folks of all ages & physical condition have ridden it.) When you encounter a hill, just ‘gear down’, take it one pedal stroke at a time, and remember that it’s taking you to a view even nicer than the ones on the way up!
