2011 Oregon Manifest Field Test

A diabolical combination of on- and off-road terrain, flats and hills, and rural/suburban/urban environments, the 2011 Constructor’s Design Challenge Field Test route will truly test the mettle of our builders’ bikes. (We’d say test the metal, too, but who knows what materials these mad-genius builders are going to have created their utility bikes from?)

This course is designed to prove the actual capabilities of the Perfect Utility Bike – covering all kinds of ground, carrying a rider and a whole lot more, efficiently and safely.

Route cues: (If you try to ride this, remember that it includes gravel roads, paved roads, dirt roads…)
