It's time again to plan for the Jason Werst Memorial "Century" Ride. This year it's Sunday September 21, 2025. This is an informal century ride that has no entry fee. Actually, in a typical Jasonesque manner the full "century" is 112 miles. Turning around at the base of the Owyhee dam makes it a regular century. The full course goes to the end of the road.
The ride group meets at the lower dam of Lake Lowell and rolls out at 10 am. The ride is quite beautiful, very rural and provides views of the Snake river, Owyhee river and the canyon that it dug.
No Entry fee, No Registration, No insurance, No organized support. No Numbers, No T-Shirts. Just a group ride in great terrain with fellow cyclists in memory of a fine fellow. All are welcome.
We are currently working on support for the ride at strategic locations along with planning a BBQ at the finish of the ride. Watch for an update as we get closer.
The Out & Back route was first ridden by Jason and a group of friends on September 19, 2010, in celebration of the 2nd anniversary of Jason's stem cell transplant as he wrestled with his Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
The next edition was being planned when Jason's Leukemia re-emerged in September 2011. This world lost Jason in October 2011.

We have scheduled the ride for the 3rd Sunday every September as an informal fund raiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Boise chapter in Jason's honor.
The ride is informal. But in the past, we have at times had great informal volunteer support vehicles and we are currently working on having support this year.
Stores for fuel and natural breaks are available in
Homedale (Mile 13)
Adrian Mile 29 (If we have support - the store and restaurant are no longer there)
Adrian Mile 83 (If we have support - the store and restaurant are no longer there)
Homedale Mile 98 (0r 87 if you turn at the dam)
So, carry a little cash and support the local merchants.
If you would like we encourage you to make a donation in Jason's Honor online at
http://www.lls.org/#/waystohelp/donate/donateonline/
Whether you can make a donation or not, and whether you had the pleasure of knowing Jason or not, we welcome and encourage you to join us.
Some people opt for a shorter ride with the group and drive to Adrian and the round trip from there to the end of the road is about 55 miles. And others have met up at the dam and ridden back to Lake Lowell.
