Sandpoint Rotary presents the CHAFE 150 Gran Fondo, named one of the top charity rides in the US! The ride takes place in Sandpoint, Idaho, the “Most Beautiful Small Town in the USA.” The 150 mile route is a grand loop around the Cabinet Mountains—a frontal range of the Rocky Mountains of Idaho and Montana—through gorgeous lake and river valleys, encompassing one upriver leg, two downriver legs and one huge lake! The CHAFE offers magnificent 150, 80, 40, and 25 mile road routes plus two Gravel options (75 and 55 mile), plus a Family Fun Ride for riders of any level!
RIDE FOR READING!
Every student. Every day. When you register for the CHAFE150, you provide vital educational support in our region. "Every Student Graduates a Reader" is a Lake Pend Oreille School District initiative focused on ensuring all students develop strong literacy skills. Reading is the foundation for academic success, enabling students to excel in all subjects, think critically, and confidently navigate the world. By screening literacy skills annually, the program identifies students’ reading abilities early, allowing for personalized instruction and preventing future learning gaps. This initiative opens doors for students, preparing them for further education, careers, and active participation in society.

Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
Cycling events range from casual gran fondos to competitive road races. What they share is the sustained effort of putting miles behind you under your own power.
It's a sport that rewards pacing judgment as much as raw fitness. If you're new to cycling events, a local bike shop fitting is worth the investment.
Gran fondo, century rides, and road races. Built around sustained effort and pacing judgment.
