We have altered this years course to take advantage of the best terrain of the Ebbetts Pass Century including Spicer Reservoir, Lake Alpine and Ebbetts Pass including the memorable 24% "Pacific Grade" at mile 52! . SAG support will be present at the bottom"Pacific Grade" to shuttle tired riders up to Mosquito Lakes so they can get back to Bear Valley. This is a demanding ride which packs a lot of punch at altitudes up to 8700 feet. So if want a challenge without all the miles, this is a ride for you.

This ride follows the Metric Century but excludes Ebbetts Pass and the 24% "Pacific Grade". However this ride is no push-over with nearly 5000 feet of climbing in 50 miles between the elevations of 6200 and 8000 feet. This is a great training ride and introduction to High Sierra cycling
