Saturday, June 14 – Lebanon Strawberry Century – Lebanon, Or. – https://www.granfondoguide.com/Events/Index/8835/strawberry-century

In the early 1990s, Lebanon’s Santiam Spokes Bicycle Club coordinated the first ever Strawberry Century supported bicycle ride in the lush Willamette Valley.  Well known for it’s scenic, low-traveled rural backroads; family-friendly atmosphere;  kind, hospitable volunteer, support; and the namesake finish line shortcake dessert, it made sense that so many cyclists across the Pacific Northwest called this their favorite supported summer cycling event. But in 2024, the Santiam Spokes announced that they didn’t have the capacity to coordinate the event in 2024. In response, four Lebanon locals, all of whom tackled their first 100 mile ride at the iconic Strawberry Century over the last decade, decided their fond memories of the event were just as valuable as everyone else’s, and that those memories deserved to keep riding on.  Now after a succesful event in 2024, the Lebanon Strawberry Century will continue to ride on for another year. See you on June 14, 2025, in Lebanon, Oregon for the sweetest miles you’ll have in the saddle all summer.
