City of Paso Robles and GWBR Collaboration

We have met with the City of Paso Robles a couple of times and are planning a few new events that we look forward to announcing to you soon. We are really excited about growing our relationship with them to help this year's Rally be the best yet!

Great Western Supported Century and Metric Century- It's a Beauty! Sponsored By:    

The route this year makes a figure-8 and features rolling hills, some short climbs and a large variety of beautiful backroad scenery. We will have 3 rest stops for the Century and 2 rest stops for the Metric Century stocked with goodies and CytoMax. CytoMax sponsors the GWBR and donates all the energy drink for both the Century and Metric Century and product for our goodie bags and door prizes. Thank you CytoMax!

Enjoy a no-host BBQ and music after completing your at ride the fairgrounds. Then, immediately following the ride is our awards ceremony and giant raffle that will include many fabulous prizes. It's only $10.00 to ride the Century or Metric Century if you are signed up for the Rally. You can sign up for these rides as you sign up for the Rally. If you want to come just one day, the Century or Metric Century cost is $45.00. This includes a shower and camping is available for an extra cost. You can sign up here!

Trek and Shimano Coming Back to Support GWBR

Trek and Shimano have been terrific long-time supporters. Shimano has been participating since 1980 and Trek since 1990. The are both back again and will provide support both on-the-road and at the fairgrounds. Shimano's Michael Quileza "Que" has been coming for many years and has been a terrific help and an expert mechanic. Chris Garrison and Matthew Gutowski from Trek will be coming for the second year. They will be on-hand to help demo Trek Bikes or perform mechanical work. We so very much appreciate them coming and supporting the GWBR!

Competition Awards: Purely Custom Providing Awards Again
