The Courses
Two course distances are available, with all categories starting at 9:00 AM.
The long course runs 45 miles for licensed USAC racers and 50 miles for those registering with a new or renewed USAC license. Categories include men’s overall, women’s overall, and single speed men at $65 (licensed) or $105 (unlicensed). Junior men and junior women long course rates are $50 (licensed) or $90 (unlicensed).

The short course runs 25 miles at $50 per category and includes men’s overall, women’s overall, men’s E-Bike, and women’s E-Bike. Both E-Bike and non-E-Bike options are available for men’s and women’s overall.
Day-of registration is available at the Pedaler’s Pub tent on the north side of Allen’s Foods. Day-of fees are $80 for long course events and $65 for short course, E-Bike, and junior categories.

The USAC License Deal
Pedaler’s Bash is partnering with USA Cycling this year to offer a full annual USAC license for $40 added to your registration fee. This applies to new licenses and renewals of expired licenses. Licenses are coordinated with USAC weekly after registration, so signing up early means your license could be ready before race day. One-day license options are also available.

After the Race
The new location next to Allen’s Foods opens up more space for a post-race hangout at the Pedaler’s Pub tent. Allen’s is a local grocery store with a solid selection of organic, gluten-free, and sport-focused snacks next door if you need to refuel.
Register early to lock in your category and get your USAC license sorted before race day.
