FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When is the 2027 ride?
Chefs Cycle will take place in Bend, Oregon from June 7–9, 2027. It’s a 2-day ride with 50- or 100-mile route options each day. Riders will check in and join the welcome dinner on June 7, then ride on June 8 and 9.

You have until June 21, 2027 to reach the $4,500 minimum. We’ll provide you with the tools, support, and fundraising ideas you need to succeed.
