Ride with the team. Support the future.

Join Fort Lewis College Cycling for Fall Blaze, a day of riding, racing, and community in support of student-athlete scholarships.

Spend the morning on the road with current FLC riders, then return in the evening for happy hour, short-track racing, food, drinks, and a silent auction under the FLC Clocktower.

100% of proceeds benefit FLC Cycling scholarships.
