Wheels in motion: ride into fall with the 2025 Headwaters Century. This community road-ride brings together cyclists for a season-closing long-distance ride that starts in downtown Enumclaw. Riders typically meet for check-in and staging in the morning, then roll out on pre-planned routes that showcase the best scenic roads around Mt. Rainier and the headwaters region.
Whether you’re aiming for the full century or a shorter supported route, the Headwaters event usually offers route maps, cue sheets, and a support plan — please check the organizer’s registration page for exact route options, aid station locations, and safety rules. Bring a well-tuned bike, a full water bottle, layered clothing, and a charged phone. Helmets required.
