- Century 100mi $40.00 Pre Registration (before April 18th) and $45.00 Late Registration (April 19th - May 15) THIS IS This classic 100 mile ride is a beauty and goes
along much of Stage 3 of the Tour De California route. Overall the
challenge of this ride is difficult and unmatched in the area. The
beautiful scenery that comes with the climbs and vineyards is also
unmatched in the area. The climb up Mt George goes from almost Sea
Level, up to 1,200 FT, then back to sea level via one of the best
descents around. And that’s all before Lunch! After, we take you to
ride through Polar readout from Ron Bolds HRM on our course pre-ride - Metric Century 60mi $40.00 Pre Registration (before April 18th) and $45.00 Late Registration (April 19th - May 15) RIDE THROUGH The 100K (60 miles). Although less challenging than the full century, overall, the challenge of this ride is difficult, with many chances for elevation gains. Like the full Century, this ride also will go along vineyards and picturesque views. It also goes along part of the Stage 3 of the Tour De California course. This is a great way for the Beginner or Intermediate rider to experience all three counties in a challenging ride. With 4 rest stops offering food, water and sports drinks we will make sure to keep you going.
