Also in 2010: The 1/2 CHaFE is back. The "1/2 CHaFE" is the perfect alternative for riders not quite ready to knock off a 150-miler. This year the 1/2 CHaFEers will ride the gorgeous 80 miles from Troy, Mont., to the finish line in Sandpoint. Here's why you should put the 2010 CHaFE 150 on your ride calendar: The route is redoubtable. The ride starts and finishes in beautiful Sandpoint, Idaho on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille, with a scenic route winding into Montana through lush river valleys of the Cabinet Mountains. The distance is challenging but elevations are modest, with no mountain passes or sustained climbs. There is also the 1/2 CHaFE 80-mile option. See the route map. The perks are prodigious. The CHaFE 150 treats riders in the fashion to which they would like to become accustomed! There are 5 fully stocked break stops, attentive support along the route, great food and entertainment apres-ride -- and of course, our very neat town of Sandpoint to explore and enjoy. All finishers receive a unique gift commemorating their CHaFE ride. Check event details. The cause is worthy. This event is staged by the Panhandle Alliance For Education to raise money for Ready! For Kindergarten, an early childhood education program to help young kids get a good start in life. Riders are encouraged to raise lots of donations, with rewards for the top fundraisers. Read about the cause. Below is some more info on the CHaFE 150. Note that shirts are guaranteed for those riders who registered on or before May 22nd.
