Tour De Blast

Ride the new road into the Mount St. Helens blast zone! The Spirit Lake Memorial Highway winds its way up the Toutle Valley to the Johnston Ridge Viewpoint. This is an open highway ride. Most of the course is on new highway with wide shoulders and excellent visibility.

Tour de Blast is a fund raising event put on by the Longview Rotary Club.  Our club is part of District 5020 of Rotary International. Rotary’s motto is “Service above Self.”  We are strictly a charity; therefore, all funds raised by Tour de Blast are used to benefit community, national and international projects.
