The Metric 1/2 Century Ride (37 miles) - This is the perfect ride for novices and young families. Riders will head east from Yreka. From there it's north to Montague, out through Little Shasta Valley to the rest stop, a scenic, pastoral setting with a view of the magnificent Mt. Shasta. >From there, return to Yreka, retracing some of the same route. One rest stop. Vertical gain of approximately 600 feet.

The Metric Century Ride (64 miles) - From Yreka (2,595 ft.), travel out to the historical railroad town of Montague, then through Little Shasta Valley to the first rest stop, a scenic, pastoral setting with a view of magnificent Mt. Shasta.

The Century Ride (100 miles) - From Yreka (2,595 ft.), we begin the climb up Forest Mountain (4,097 ft.), then travel along Highway 3 to Fort Jones (2,744 ft.). From there the ride loops to Greenview, Quartz Valley, and back to Fort Jones. After that, riders head south along East Side road. Next is on to Callahan (3,123 ft.) then a climb up Gazelle Mountain (4,921 ft.) with magnificent views. Then a long downhill run to Gazelle (2,765 ft.) and onward to Yreka. Total vertical gain is approximately 4,600 feet.

    Great ride, perfect weather. Needed a wind breaker until the first rest stop at 16 miles. This was my longest ride. Prior rides were all in the 20s. I did 65.5 miles in 4 hrs 24 minutes with an average speed of 14.8 mph. My body pooped out after 55 miles. Don't eat too much during the second and last rest stop. My body was not cooperating during the last 17 miles.
