“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”

Registration closes in one week, August 9th, for the eighth and final edition of the Swift Summit in Lebanon, Oregon p/b Conversion Brewing. Ridden more like a two wheeled pilgrimage around the Willamette Valley, choose between 200 miles of mixed terrain, or 100 or 50 miles of fully paved and sacred meditation miles weaving in and out of the Cascades foothills, wrapping up with a finish line block party and live music all day until the last rider finishes up.

I’ve always said that riding Swift Summit is like riding through a John Steinbeck novel — the land itself feels storied, full of quiet truths and the slow-burning beauty of a setting sun silhouetting the end of season combine harvest. This ride has never been about how much you can suffer. It’s about how deep you're willing to go — into a challenge, into your own story, into a community that has your back through every mile. The rural roads roll like the rise and fall of a symphony, and every turn offers a little bit of magic, a little bit of hope, to keep your spirit flying. This isn’t just a ride — it’s a reminder that effort is sacred, and that showing up for each other still matters.

This is your last chance for one more sacred lap through the Mid-Willamette Valley on August 16th.

My dad always told me: if you want to solve a problem, start with the end goal in mind.

So I imagined a welcoming ride that felt like a race for those who felt excluded from that environment, with a finish line that didn’t shut down once the fast folks were done. A finish line that stayed open and alive for the rider who poured everything into finishing; who maybe needed a little more time, but brought just as much grit, sometimes even more.

That’s the spirit we built Swift Summit around.

Not just miles and elevation, but a belief that every rider deserves a finish line that feels like the top step. Whether you ride 200 miles or 50 miles, whether it’s a 3pm finish or 9pm, you will ride straight into the heart of a celebration. A plaza full of live music, cold drinks, good people, and an indescribable feeling like you won something bigger than a race.

Because you did.
