About this event

Seven Feathers Casino Resort, nestled among tall Douglas firs and pine trees, just off of Interstate 5, at exit 99, in Canyonville, Oregon, is the beginning of the Takelma Gravel Grinder. Riders will take on the 57-mile Bold routes to see if you are Takelma Tough. 
The ride begins by taking riders through the doors of the casino before rolling towards the town of Canyonville and onto rural, Tiller Trail Highway. Passing farm and ranch landscapes along the South Umpqua River, soon you’re into the gravel experience with the first climb of the ride. A 6-mile KOM climbing effort with a 9% average gain starts at mile 15 and ends at mile 21, then cresting to a spectacular valley view of Days Creek. During the ride, aid stations with electrolyte drinks and food will be provided, as well as SAG vehicles.

All riders continue on towards Chief Miwaleta Park and along the scenic view of Galesville Reservoir prior to a backside climb up and over to the remote finish. We then return 13 miles on our own to Seven Feathers Casino Resort to relax at Squatchee Fest, enjoying food and beverages from the Seven Feathers Food Truck, compliments of the race organizers.
