RIDE AND EVENT INFORMATION

The CHaFE150 will support our riders in the fashion to which they would like to become accustomed! Our start/finish area, at the Coldwater Creek corporate offices two miles from downtown Sandpoint, has great parking and changing areas. We're aiming to make our food the best you ever experienced on a ride!

Friday registration reception will include hors d'oeuvres, beer and wine. A hearty breakfast at the Coldwater Campus staging point will be provided early Saturday morning.

Along the ride there are five pit stops along the way approximately every 30 miles, with bathrooms, water and snacks.

At the finish, to celebrate your ride we will provide entertainment, beer and snacks. Your registration fee will include dinner on either Friday or Saturday at one of our fine restaurants in Sandpoint's Old Lantern District. You can take advantage of that dinner either Friday evening or Saturday after the ride.

On Sunday we will offer an optional brunch at the Edgewater Restaurant where you can enjoy the views of beautiful Lake Pend Oreille.

We're encouraging riders to collect donations and pledges. Why not leverage all that sweat-n-burn to raise money for a great cause? Top fundraisers will receive a distinctive and very cool jersey or other rewards. Go to About the Cause to learn more and get documents to collect those donations.

Registration for CHAFE opened on April 15, 2008. Our rider cap is 250 riders. Click now and register early to secure your spot. Plus, we urge riders to reserve their lodging now! There will be limited hotel space that weekend due to events in the Sandpoint area. Get links to all the local lodging, dining and visitor services on the Area Information page
