DRAFT WCC PAGE - NOT CURRENT |
The Santa Rosa Cycling Club welcomes you to Sonoma County for a beautiful springtime century. The Wine Country Century will show you why Sonoma County is famous for its scenic backroad cycling. This ride passes by many of the region’s premier vineyards and wineries. You’ll ride through redwoods and apple orchards, shady broad-leaf forest and wildflowers and you’ll climb over hillsides dotted with eucalyptus, bay and oak trees. After the lunch stop, the 100K, Century and Super Century routes include some of the area damaged by last fall’s Kincade fire. Most of the fire impact is not obvious but over a distance of about 15 miles you will pass some burned out buildings and charred trees and get a good idea of the extent of this massive wildfire. This is considered a moderately easy century…a good choice for those attempting their first 100-miler. It is not all flat though, and by the time the finish rolls around, even seasoned riders will feel they’ve earned their after-ride meal. We’re deeply flattered that last year about half our riders
returned after riding the event the year before. The largest portion of revenues from the entry fees goes to staging the event... paying for food and supplies,

Sharing the Road
Sonoma County's back roads are very popular with cyclists. You may only visit here once or twice a year, but the residents along our route have cyclists--in large groups and small--passing their homes and farms and wineries every day. You can help us preserve friendly relations with our neighbors by being a good ambassador for cycling when you ride here. Our use of this route in the future may depend on your good cycling behavior now. Thank you for your cooperation!

SRCC Event Cancellation Policy
SRCC reserves the right to cancel or reschedule an event when, in SRCC’s sole discretion, it is
reasonably necessary to do so. Circumstances under which cancellation or rescheduling may
occur include, but are not limited to, Acts of God, terrorism, community disasters, such as
earthquake, fire or flooding, or other unforeseen events reasonably likely to compromise the
safety of participants or otherwise interfere with the ability of the club to hold the event.
Inclement weather alone will generally not result in a cancellation. Events are held rain or shine.
If the event is cancelled:
1. Participants will be notified as soon as possible.
2. Depending on the situation, full or partial refunds may be issued in SRCC’s sole discretion.
SRCC relies on fees from our events to continue our stated purpose as a 501(c) (4) non-profit
recreational cycling club to ensure our organization is here every year, to continue advocating for
riders and putting on the best events in the country. SRCC must honor commitments and
contracts many of which are paid in advance of the event and non-refundable. SRCC cannot
bear the risk of a disaster alone. Each participant accepts the risk of losing his or her registration
fee or other incidental expenses related to participation in the event should circumstances
warranting cancellation arise. Thanks for your support and understanding.
