What else can you tell me a about the TDA courses?
Experience the ride of a lifetime at the TedDriven Tour De AlpenFlüsse at Leavenworth BikeFest — an epic road bike adventure that winds through the breathtaking alpine rivers and lush valleys Leavenworth, Plain and Lake Wenatchee Washington. Part of the prestigious Leavenworth BikeFest on June 14th, 2025, this tour, powered by TedDriven (TedDriven.com), offers three spectacular courses designed to thrill riders of all levels.
The 100-Mile Centery Ride: Embark on an unforgettable journey beginning at Leavenworth’s iconic Ski Hill. Ascend the Chumstick Valley, conquer the challenging Beaver Pass, and loop around the scenic Chiwawa (including a short but fun out and back on the Chiwawa River Road) before merging with the Lake Wenatchee byway. Feel the rush as you cruise to the end of the paved White River Valley, then weave through the picturesque Little Wenatchee River Valley. Revel in panoramic views along the north shore of Lake Wenatchee, hit your stride aling the Beaver Valley Highway, enjoy the flat and picturesc out-and-back along the Wenatchee River in the Plain Valley, then give it your best shot climbing back over the CAT 4 Beaver Pass, then its all downhill at speed back to Leavenworth — culminating in a triumphant return down the Chumstick Valley and to the finish at the Leavenworth Ski Hill.
The 62-Mile Challenge: For those seeking a slightly shorter, yet equally exhilarating route, the 62-mile option covers all the highlights of the century ride—excluding the White River, Little Wenatchee and Plain River Valley segments. It’s a perfect balance of challenge and scenic beauty, ideal for riders wanting to push their limits without committing to the full distance.
The 45-Mile Scenic Lolly Pop Loop: Looking for a shorter, more leisurely adventure? The 45-mile loop circles the enchanting Chiwawa Loop Road and winds along the Beaver Valley Highway. This route offers a taste of the TedDriven Tour De AlpenFlusse’s stunning landscapes, with plenty of opportunities to soak in the natural beauty of the region.
The secret unmentioned 25-Mile out and back: Not really an official route, but for those who just want to have a nice ride and enjoy a trip to the top of Beaver Pass, have a snack and head back. Just choose the 45 and turn around early. Enjoy!
