elite riders went out fast and hard in the Sisters Stampede.

were on hand for the race,
which sold out several days in
advance. The event’s Forest
Service permit limits the num-
ber of riders, so folks who
traveled to Sisters expecting
race-day registration were out
of luck. The Sisters Stampede
has, over its six years, created
a reputation that means it will
fill up well before race day
every year.
Joel Palanuk, who founded
and directed the race until
handing off the reins to race
director Mike Ripley this year,
got to climb on his bike for
the 2015 edition and turned in
a sixth-overall performance.
Ryan Trebon of Bend won
a narrow victory in the men’s
elite race, and Serena Bishop
Gordon took the laurels for
the women.
Perhaps the biggest winner
from the event is Sisters itself.
Many riders were heard to
promise to return from points
distant, vowing to bring their
families back to enjoy the
beauty of the country, the
hospitality of the town — and
a race that has become one
of the premier events in the
Pacific Northwest.
