Midsummer Challenge

Midsummer Challenge 2025 — Ride with Argonaut & Pas Normal

We’re linking up with our friends at Pas Normal Studios for their Midsummer Challenge ride in Bend—and we’d love for you to join. This one's open to all and built to push your limits: 200km of high desert road, climbing through scenic stretches on a tour from Bend to Sisters out to Smith Rock then back to Bend around Redmond. Bring big tires, big legs, and a good attitude.

This is not a no-drop ride. We'll work together but it’s a big day on the bike—come prepared, ride within your limits, and respect traffic laws at all times.
