Frequently Asked Questions
Camping? In Oregon? In April?
We get it, Oregon in April is synonymous with dark grey clouds and rain. But what traditional Spring Classic isn't? No shame in passing on overnight accommodations, but we still want you to come and ride with us. This is why we're offering the option to join us Saturday morning for breakfast and a ride. Lunch will be provided, and you're welcome to stick around for afternoon activities. Dinner add-on optional. For those okay with gambling against Mother Nature, you're welcome to bring a tent, sprinter van, or trailer/RV.
What are the Routes?
Participants have the option of a supported 100k or 50k on Saturday, with 100k riders having the option to explore a gravel sector or two (you can decide at the last minute as both options route back into the paved route). Both routes offer aid station support with food and hydration. Click for link to routes below.

Sunday Social Ride
I've got a Family and Small Kids. Can they Join the Weekend Fun?
The Swift Summit Spring Classic is family friendly (dogs included). For younger kids and family, and those new to cycling, the 50k route takes it light on the climbing but packs the same breathtaking scenery as the 100k route. For those extra young kids, Pioneer Park offers a large playground, basketball courts, and a quarter mile paved loop that is low traffic. Striders and training wheels encouraged, and reduced costs for those just looking to hang (kids ten and under are free).
What about Diet Restrictions?
Our camp chefs are mindful of everyone's unique dietary needs, and will have choices available to meet the needs of practicing vegans, vegetarians, and those with gluten sensitivities.
Brownsville, Oregon? Never heard of it.
Brownsville, Oregon is a cute little town tucked away in the Willamette Valley. For those of you who have seen the film, "Stand By Me," you may recognize several landmarks across town as it was the setting for the fictional town Castle Rock. Originally called, Calapooya, after the area's original Indigenous inhabitants, the town was the first county seat after Oregon's Provisional Legislature created Linn County from the southern portion of Champoeg County.
