The Routes

---

With the goal of growing the Pawnee Pioneer Gravel Weekend to add a full race in the future, for the inaugural year,  we will provide prizes for the top riders overall  and in each age group for the Pawnee Roubaix - Men, Women, Non Binary.   To be ranked please make sure you sign up for the Ride with GPS Pawnee Pioneer Gravel Weekend Event.  Prizes will be donated by some of our partners such as Cuore Cycling USA

For those doing the Sterling Beeter Half, you will start at the Spring Canyon Bar Ranch in Raymer and end in Sterling.   There will be a bus and bike transportation from Sterling to Spring Canyon Bar Ranch.   You will need to reserve a spot on the bus when you register.  

There will be an aid station every 15 to 25 miles.  Aid Stations will have water, hydration drink and basic snacks.   Local community members will be onsite to provide additional goodies.   At times the community will be fundraising and these goodies will be for sale.   Please ensure that you plan accordingly and carry any additional supplies you may need.    

There are limited stores and on the route:

Saturday:

• North Sterling State Park (mile 38)
• Downtown Sterling (mile 52.2) - there is an abundance of opportunities here for food
• Deweys, Stoneham (slightly off route at mile 75.9 - go straight, take left at sign)(this is only the Sterling Beeter Full)

Sunday: (only stores are on the Pawnee Roubaix)

• Pawnee Station, Raymer (mile 69.6) will be open by special request

Don't hesitate to stop by a local ranch or farm if you need water or help.   They know you are coming and will be happy to help! 

We will have SAG wagons on the route to provide support.   They will have extra tubes, bike pumps, water, and basic medical supplies.   

Many of you may have personal support on the route and while we welcome it we will provide personal support with routes to meeting spots so they are not on the routes if they don't have to be.   We are trying to limit as many vehicles as possible from the route to ensure safety and minimize dust.  

The route will be marked but we strongly encourage you to download the RidewithGPS maps of the route and travel with a paper map and cue sheet.
