Winthrop Gravel Hub & Spoke Tour 2025

Join COGS for a 3-day hub-n-spoke gravel bike tour and adventure in Winthrop. We had a great time last year riding some of the best gravel terrain in the state.  If you only want to ride 2 days that works too. 

NOTE: This will be a challenging ride.  40mm tires or more suggested.  Be prepared to navigate on your own.  Bring lots of water each day.  Bring lunch and snacks.  Bring wet weather gear.  If it rains or snows at higher elevations, you will be glad you did.  If it does not, then you will be glad that you did not have to worry about it.

Lodging:

Event headquarters: North Cascades Mountain Hostel.  The hostel is the recommended place to stay.  There is a kitchen and a open room for socializing.  Some of the riders prepared their breakfasts in the kitchen.  Several riders are planning to checking in on 11SEP and checking out on 24SEP.  Last year, we checked out in the morning before our ride.  The owner was kind enough to allowed us to shower after our half day ride.  The address is 209 Castle Ave, Winthrop, WA, 98862.
