The 4th Annual Art of Survival Century Bicycle Ride
The 4th Annual Art of Survival Century Bicycle Ride (AOS) takes place on Saturday, May 27, 2017 in Tulelake, California and Malin and Merrill, Oregon. The setting for this unique ride is in one of the most beautiful and undiscovered part of Siskiyou and Modoc Counties in California and in Klamath County, Oregon.
We offer a Century (100 mile), Metric Century (62 mile), 45 mile, 20 mile mountain bike route, and a 16 mile family friendly route. Access the Ride with GPS route maps on our website. All routes (except 16 mile) pass through the Lava Beds National Monument, which has an unparalleled volcanic landscape with towering cinder cones, expansive black lava flows and more than 700 lava tube caves. The park also has a rich cultural history, containing thousands of petroglyphs and pictographs, as well as the major battlefields of the Modoc Indian War.
New in 2017 – Time to see what’s on the other side of the road! This year we will be riding the routes in reverse. Great opportunity to CELEBRATE with us as we honor and showcase our resources throughout this event and during our post-ride festivities. Whether you ride a bicycle or not, there will be activities for you and your family at our event on May 27th.
