Route Sheet: Final. The ride broken into three loops out from the Days Inn in Richland, WA. Maps of the candidate loops are below. They are mostly accurate, with a minor deviation or two from the route sheet.

Please note:
This running of the DRR Loopy 600 will be almost entirely unsupported. A rider with a well provisioned room in the Days Inn (or other nearby establishment) should be able to comfortably execute the event.

The first loop is 235km out to Kahlotus, up to Othello and back south to Richland.



The second loop, 130km, follows the Columbia river around the bend into Oregon, and then climbs Plymouth Rd up and over the crest down into Richland.



The final loop, 230km, has the riders taking a loop around the river, and then reprising one of our routes out to Toppenish and back.
