May 24 - 25, 2008 in Vancouver, Washington

The Lewis & Clark 12/24 is a bicycle time trial race where participants can race continuously for either 12 or 24 hours. The participant who logs the most miles in each time period wins. Come on out and participate or support your local cyclists!

The race will take place in SouthWest Washington begining in Clark county in the small town of Hockinson. From there the racers will wend their way over rolling hills to the Washougal River Road and then east on the Lewis & Clark Highway through the majestic Columbia River Gorge and past the famed Bonneville Dam. Along the way they will have magnificent views of Mt. Hood and the Cascade mountain range. At the Carson Hot Springs riders will turn north up the Wind River Highway to the moderate 3,000 foot climb of Old Man Pass before screaming down Curly Creek Road to the Swift Reservoir. Be sure to look up at the breathtaking view of Mt. St. Helens. On their way back to the finish line they will be mesmerized by the color of the Lewis River, and soak up the lush, dense forest of the Mt. St. Helens National Monument.

The long loop is 140 miles and 5,700 feet of climbing.
