2026 Richmond Stampede bike race
May 16, 2026
25 and 50 mile races
The race starts at 10:00 AM. 50 to 100 riders are expected to participate.

Please see links below for the cycling races.

As can be seen in the maps, both routes will start at Lee’s Market in Richmond, going west on Hwy 142. The 50-mile course will continue west through Trenton to Clarkston. From Clarkston the course will go southeast to Newton. From Newton, the course will travel east, over Newton dam, then west to Trenton. After passing through Trenton, the route will turn north on 1600 West, Lewiston. The 25-mile route will turn north on 1600 West, Lewiston without going to Trenton, Clarkston, and Newton. Both courses will continue north through Lewiston, across the Utah/Idaho border in to Fairview. In Fairview both courses will turn east on 4800 S and continue to Franklin. From Franklin both routes will follow Cove
Road/Mountain Home road to 1200 East in Cove then east on High Creek Road (12300 North), and south on Lower Richmond Road. At 300 N in Richmond the routes will again split. The 25-mile route will continue south to Main street, west to 400 West and north to Lee’s Market. The 50-mile route will turn east on 300 N, north on 300 E and finally east on 500 N. The 50-mile route will end at Cherry Peak Ski Resort.
Feed stops will be at Newton Reservoir and the church parking lot in Fairview.

We will need two operators for Net Control, one for the start/finish lines one each for the Preston and Halls Corner rest stops, and one or two sweep/rover vehicles. We will primarily support the 50 mile race, and incidentally support the 25 mile race where the courses overlap. If we have rovers, they may support both routes. We may have a mobile mechanic truck which could use a radio operator. We will need around 10 to 12 radio operators total. I am planning on being one of the net control operators.
We can use both Ham radio and GMRS operators for all positions. It’s desirable to have least one person in the sweep vehicles be a Ham with previous bike race experience following riders and using APRS. No previous race experience is necessary for any of the other positions. 

We will be using the Sedgwick repeater (pending authorization) and the Richmond GMRS repeater. Net Control will be at the Richmond City communications center. Starting line is for both races will be at Lee’s Marketplace. The starting line operator(s) should stay in place until the 25 mile riders finish the ride, then move to the finish line at Cherry Peak (50 mile) We may station one finish line operator along the route to Cherry Peak in a cell dead zone.
All operators should have at least a good hand held radio with experience using either the Sedgwick Ham and/or Richmond GMRS repeater. In addition we will use a Ham and GMRs simplex channel for back up communications. If you have a go box with a portable radio setup, that may be used as well. It’s desirable for mobile operators to have a vehicle mounted 2 meter Ham radio with APRS capability. If you don’t have an APRS enabled radio we will probably be able to borrow them from BARC.
We may also use City Public Works radios for communications between race and City officials and Net
Control.

A meeting will be held approximately one to two weeks prior to the event, in Richmond at the City
Communications Center.
