For cyclists who crave both stunning scenery and a worthy challenge, the CHAFE 150 is a ride that belongs on your calendar. On Saturday June 14, 2025, this annual gran fondo rolls out from Sandpoint, Idaho, offering an unforgettable riding experience with magical mountain and lake views on your choice of tarmac or gravel. Whether you’re in it for the endurance, the camaraderie, or the cause, CHAFE 150 delivers a professionally-organized ride that goes well beyond the miles.
CHAFE 150 Ride Routes
The CHAFE 150 isn’t just for hardcore roadies logging century-plus rides. With a variety of routes, it welcomes cyclists of all skill levels and disciplines, including two gravel routes:
- 150-Mile Road Route – The flagship ride, wrapping around the stunning Cabinet Mountains and coursing through Idaho’s wild landscapes.
- 80, 40, and 25-Mile Road Routes – Scaled-down versions that still pack in plenty of scenery and smooth pavement.
- 75 and 55-Mile Gravel Routes – Rolling through the backroads of Selle Valley, these routes challenge riders with unpaved sections, big views, and a taste of the wild.
Ride CHAFE 150 for a Cause
Every pedal stroke counts for something bigger. CHAFE 150 isn’t just about personal achievement—it’s about giving back. The ride supports literacy programs in the Lake Pend Oreille School District, directly benefiting over 3,800 students. Whether you’re hammering out the full 150 or enjoying a shorter spin, you’re helping kids develop the critical reading skills they need to succeed.
CHAFE 150 Registration and Event Details
Registration is open and the ride has filled up in the past so don’t wait. Riders can expect well-stocked aid stations, a post-ride celebration with food and drinks included, and top-tier event support.
There’s a reason CHAFE 150 keeps riders coming back. Sandpoint, often ranked among the most beautiful small towns in America, sets the stage with its lakefront charm and mountain backdrop. The ride itself is a test of endurance, but it’s also a celebration of cycling, community, and the shared passion for adventure on two wheels.
If you’re looking for a ride that blends challenge, scenery, and purpose, CHAFE 150 is calling. Clip in, train up, and get ready for an unforgettable day in the saddle.
