Description

Ride through time to a corner of Montana that the world forgot. Meet vintage bike enthusiasts and geek out over custom builds. Enjoy sweeping panoramas and eat like the champions of the great tours. Covering over 100 miles in two days (mostly on dirt and gravel), you will revel in the exquisite suffering and joyous camaraderie that is unique to Cino. This year's theme is randonneur - loosely translated to “ramble” in French - rooted in the spirit of self-supported long distance riding at one's own pace. We will break the classic randonneur rules a bit by providing a delicious buffet for lunch and a gear shuttle to hot springs, but we invite you to load up your panniers or handlebar bags and hit the gravel with us. Included in your registration is a catered three course meal and wine or beer, served in style, in Hot Springs. Don't forget your fancy dress togs for the dinner (period dress is encouraged). Your chosen bike should, ideally, have at least three of the following characteristics: pre-1987, steel frame, lugged, friction shifting (down tube levers!), old-style clip pedals and straps, single speed or fixed gear (only for the truly hard core), or tubular tires. The Cino will be a truly memorable ride for you and a fundraiser for Kalispell Montessori! Funds raised through this event will be put towards student scholarships so that more Flathead Valley children can experience a quality Montessori education. Details about the ride can be found here.
