Curious what makes the Great Western Reroute so special? Join our Advance Missions and find out firsthand.
We're deploying two strategic Scouting Parties ahead of the May 16 main event, each delivering a 40-mile taste of what makes the 9th annual GWR our most ambitious edition yet. These aren't just recon rides; they're standalone adventures designed to prepare both your mind and machine for what's to come.
Advance Mission 2 ventures northward, exploring the challenging climbs and rewarding descents that have earned GWR its reputation for uncompromising route design. Each mission offers strategic intelligence on equipment choices, pacing strategies, and technical sections you'll want to know about before the big day.
Ride starts rolling at 8:30AM. Both Scouting Parties are self-supported missions (with key water stops marked on the RWGPS routes). Subscribe and join us on Strava for the latest updates.
