Harvest Century Needs Your Help!

You must have a truck, van, or SUV with bike rack, and room for 2-3 riders in your vehicle. With three courses spanning over a hundred miles, and 1500 riders, this will be a busy day for all involved. The course tours Washington County, with brief excursions into Yamhill County and Clackamas County.

Volunteers will be reimbursed for mileage and lunch is provided. The event is expected to run from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but final scheduling has not been completed, flexibility is appreciated.
