Might be a bit early but who's in this year? Just booked my train ticket and room so I have no excuses!
Hope to see you guys at the starting line.

Whats the earliest in the season one could reasonably do this route? I'm trying to plan my spring of bikepacking before I start residency in June and hoping to ITT this in early April if there is a reasonable chance of the route being snow free

No snow in Central Oregon this year. Possible to ride it even now. |

Bummer. Some people made poor life choices that are now deeply linked and associated with the event/name/ride/route.
Still a worthwhile route to experience, I believe. For some reason, I never thought a Grand Depart-style event was suited for this route. Not sure why. Hindsight 20/20, I know. If I ever bikepack through Silver Lake, hope I don't get treated with guilt-by-association and distrust, but wouldn't blame the locals if they acted as such.

That's a huge bummer and shame on those responsible for literally shitting on the event and the reputation of bike tourists/packers in general. I was keen to get down there next year to have a go at this one after being stoked on all the reports of positive vibes, fun route, etc in last years inaugural running .. Might need a year to cool off as Mike points out the guilty by association is not something I'd want to be part of.
