## De Ronde van Oest Portlandia

Officially Canceled on TBD for 2020, pending COVID-19 guidelines.  **NO Mass Start Time.  Stagger wisely instead.**

Nearly 8000 ft of climbing in ~50 miles just minutes from Downtown Portland traversing the West Hills, [**RondePDX**](http://www.rondepdx.com) is the stuff [legends](http://www.opb.org/television/programs/ofg/segment/steep-hill-ride/) are made of. Named in honor of Belgium’s legendary Tour of Flanders (De Ronde van Vlaanderen), this route mimics that One Day Classic’s profile – not long climbs, but lots of short, steep, treacherous ones.

Tradition has it that on the [14th Day of Worship](http://www.rondevanvlaanderen.be/en), the hard men of the land shall gather to match their skill and strength against each other on the inclines of Flandrian earth, stone and tarmac.

This event will be honored with **two** invitational rides. Some will take on the infamous Ronde PDX parcours. Yet a strong, enduring few will test themselves again on [**La Doyenne of the East**](http://ridewithgps.com/ambassador_routes/210-la-doyenne-de-ronde-van-oost-portlandia).

Follow the routes any time you choose. The lions are waiting to devour you.

It's just a ride:
* No Prize but [Honor](http://www.crosscrusadegear.com)
* No Fee but Sweat
* No Support but Lycra
* No Sponsor but Yourself
* No Rules but the Lawful kind
* No Sanction but from the Madonna del Ghisallo
