RIDE THROUGH LAKE BERRYESSA, NAPA VINEYARDS, THE GLORY HOLE AND THE ONCE THRIVING TOWN OF MONTICELLO

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.

EXPERIENCE THE BEST CYCLING SOLANO, NAPA AND YOLO COUNTIES HAVE TO OFFER.

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 along with it’s beauty is 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 a ride through Napa, passing though the scenic vineyards and onto what the pro’s ride in Stage 3 of the Tour De California that passes by Lake Berryessa. The ride includes five catered rest stops. The evening wraps up at Vacaville High School with a fine mexican cuisine from Murillo’s Restaurant.
