Tour De AlpenFlusse, meaning Tour of the Alpine Rivers, is a road cycling event held in Plain, Washington, near Leavenworth. It is part of Leavenworth BikeFest and features three paved routes: the 45-mile Classic, the 62-mile Metric Century, and the 100-mile Century Challenge. The event begins and concludes at Plain Cellars Winery, focusing the day on the upper Wenatchee Valley instead of a city start or a closed circuit.
The routes traverse quiet mountain roads through the Wenatchee, White, Chiwawa, and Little Wenatchee river valleys, incorporating a shoreline section at Lake Wenatchee. The Classic route covers the Wenatchee River valley, the White River corridor, and Lake Wenatchee. The Metric Century extends the distance through the valley and includes a longer lake loop. The Century Challenge explores all four Cascade river valleys, with additional sections along the Chiwawa and Little Wenatchee rivers. All courses are on pavement, suitable for road, gravel, or touring bikes, and the event welcomes mixed groups alongside experienced road cyclists. Support and food are provided during the ride, and afterward, BikeFest offers a beer garden, food trucks, live music, mountain bike racing, gravel racing, and a children's event.
