Description: Ronde van Palouse (Tour of the Palouse) is a
road race held in the spirit of the Spring Classics. The course consists of a
16-mile circuit in the farm country near Spangle, Washington. The loop features
10 miles of good pavement and 6 miles of graded gravel. The constant rollers
and the nearly constant wind of the Palouse make this a challenging circuit
that favors the strongest all-around riders. The finish line is about two miles
northeast of Liberty High School.
- Five (5) riders make a category. Promoter also reserves the right to combine, split, or cancel fields depending on turnout. Fields that race together will still be scored separately.
- Driving Directions: From Spokane, go 17 miles south on Hwy 195. Exit the highway left on East Cheney-Spangle Road. This is the second Spangle exit. You'll see the Harvester Restaurant to the left and a gas station on the right as you enter the town of Spangle. Continue to the stop sign at Main/Old 195. Turn right on Old SR 195 and proceed south for approximately one mile. Turn left on Spangle-Waverly Road. Proceed 3.5 miles to the staging area at Liberty High School on the right.
- Entrance Fee: $35 includes sales tax, insurance surcharges, and registration fees.

Frequently
Asked Questions:
- Support vehicle for each field will be “wheels in-wheels out”. However, your best bet is to run a wider tire with max air pressure.
- A feed zone is available for teams and individuals with their own support person. Your soigneur should be instructed to stand in the feed zone on South Rattlers Run (see map below). There is parking at the intersection of Dawson Road and Rattlers Run Road.
- Award ceremony and will be at Liberty High School after the last field has finished (approximately 2:30 pm)
Other Rules: All USA cycling rules apply. Racers must
present valid 2015 USA Cycling license at registration, no
exceptions. Riders outside the "race caravan" must obey the
standard rules of the road. Helmets must be worn any time the participant is on
a bicycle--before, during, and after the race, except while on a trainer.
