2013 Changes & Updates


The Cascade Cream Puff is back! After seventeen longstanding years, 2013 promises to be another great event! The big news? This year, CCP is introducing an 100-kilometer course as an alternative to the classic 100-mile grind. Whether you are an aspiring athlete, or a professional endorphin junkie, CCP is opening the door for more participants to compete on some of the finest singletrack in the Pacific Northwest. We have dropped entry fees down to $175 for anyone who signs up before April 1, 2013. So save yourself a few bucks, and get registered early.

CCP will not be hosting an “official” campsite this year. Instead, we would like to invite you to check out some of the fantastic camping and lodging facilities in the area. Please check with our local lodging partners, Oakridge Hostel, Oakridge Motel and the Double Diamond Lodge for special discounts available for CCP participants. For camping options, please check with Willamette National Forest for Middle Fork District campgrounds.

We will be staging all event activities at the Westfir Porthole area – including registration, rider’s meeting and of course, the race start/finish. Riders can expect the same great aid station support courtesy of our sponsors and local community partners, including Kiwanis, Greater Oakridge Area Trails Stewards, Disciples of Dirt, Cottage Grove Mountain Bike Club, City of Oakridge and Ninkasi Brewing Company. Browse vendors, grab a bite, win a raffle prize, and plan to cheer on your favorite athletes as they enter Aid Station One and cross the Finish, or load up on our spectator shuttle, courtesy of Oregon Adventures.



The Course


Course maps and details coming soon! Our illustrious Co-promoter and Trail Manager, Derrick Bell, has set the course and promises more singletrack, less road… which translates to: MORE FUN! The course will begin and end at the Westfir Porthole and incorporates the upper Alpine Trail system and parts of North Fork that haven’t been included in previous races. Be prepared to be challenged, mentally, and physically. Check back for downloadable maps here on the website.

Registration is Easy!


Using our new online registration is super easy and quick! Payment is accepted through PayPal, and if you don’t have an account, you can pay as a guest using a major credit card. Registration is limited, so make the commitment to get fit, and sign up today!

Strava Cascade Cream Puff Cycling Club (Westfir, OR)


We are continuing to update our site as we confirm more information, but be assured, Cascade Cream Puff will be better than ever this year, and we hope to keep you –our friends, fans and riders– motivated and encouraged to get on your bikes and ride!

Support Trails!


Starting in March, our Trail Manager, Derrick Bell, will be leading volunteer trail crew efforts to benefit local trails. Work parties will be posted on both the CCP Facebook page and our new blog.
