We're Taking on the Challenge!
Exciting news! We're thrilled to announce that Guesthouse will participate in this year's two-day Chefs Cycle event in Bend, Oregon, on June 2nd and 3rd! Our second time riding, we see this as a wonderful opportunity for us to come together as a company, promote wellness, and support an important cause for their 10-year anniversary.
"I’m so proud to have Guesthouse join us for our 10th Anniversary of Chefs Cycle for No Kid Hungry – we have a shared commitment to innovation, hospitality and setting big bold audacious goals! And being able to work with one of my dearest friends, Trevor Cornwell, the Founder of Guesthouse is an added bonus. He never shies away from a challenge – whether it’s launching a world class hotel or riding hundreds of miles to end childhood hunger."
-Debbie Shore, Co-Founder, Share Our Strength
Our Commitment
As part of our participation in Chef's Cycle, Guesthouse is dedicated to raising $4,500 for childhood nutrition programs. We're proud to join a community of culinary professionals who use their passion and platform to address one of America's most solvable problems.
Whether you're looking to join the Guesthouse team, make a donation, or help spread the word, our goal is to bring people together for the cause. Every kid should have their basic needs met, and we want to do our part to support the youth of America.
Help us reach our fundraising goal! Make a donation on the Chef's Cycle website!
What is Chef's Cycle?
Chef's Cycle is an extraordinary fundraising initiative that unites the culinary community around a common cause: ensuring every child in America has reliable access to nutritious food through No Kid Hungry. Participants challenge themselves on a scenic two-day bicycle journey through Oregon's breathtaking high desert landscape.
This event isn't about racing to the finish line—it's about the collective impact we can make together. The cycling community at Chef's Cycle is supportive and welcoming, with riders of all experience levels encouraging each other throughout the journey.
Event Details
- Location: Bend, Oregon
- Dates: June 2-3, 2025
- Accommodation: Riverhouse Lodge
- Challenge: Two days of cycling through Central Oregon's high desert
The Impact of Your Support
The statistics are sobering: millions of children across America don't have dependable access to the food they need to thrive. The funds raised through Chef's Cycle support innovative programs that:
- Strengthen and expand school breakfast and lunch initiatives
- Fund summer meal programs when school is out
- Provide grants for equipment and resources to community organizations
- Support advocacy efforts for stronger childhood nutrition policies
Every dollar raised translates to multiple meals for children in need through efficient distribution networks and existing food programs. By addressing childhood hunger, we're investing in healthier communities, better educational outcomes, and brighter futures.

Riders at Chef's Cycle can choose between challenging century routes (100 miles) or more moderate metric century options (approximately 60 miles) each day.
