2019 Route
Details for 2022 forthcoming.
Please do not download the route until a few days before the event, as last-minute updates can occur.
Food stops
There are two official social/food stops each day to provide water, energy drinks and energy-type snacks intended to keep you going, but that are not meant to be a meal. There are many restaurants and fast food outlets on the route. We encourage riders to take advantage of these opportunities in the communities along the way. Dutch Mother's in Lynden - right on the route - will be open Sat. & Sun. from 6-9 a.m. serving a special buffet for our cyclist.

Mechanical Support
RSVP provides mechanical support at most official food stops. Labor is free, but please be prepared to pay for parts. RSVP is a challenging event, requiring endurance and training. Be prepared to handle your own minor mechanical problems on the road.
