My First Century • 2-3/A-AB-B/100 • Howarth Park, Santa Rosa

Starts at Howarth Park, Santa Rosa

630 Summerfield Rd, Santa Rosa, CA 95405

Regroups: Occasional (ride leader will determine)

953-8192

SUPPORTED RIDE

DESIGNED FOR PARTICIPANTS IN THE "MY FIRST CENTURY" PROGRAM
BUT OPEN TO ALL CLUB MEMBERS - REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Geared towards A, AB and B riders but all welcome. Those riding faster paces may not be able to take advantage of the support (water, snack and lunch stops) so plan to self support.

Please arrive early (preferably by 6am) and be ready to ride by 6:20 am.  There will be an orientation and then we roll at 630 am.

See the route map for locations of restrooms, official "snack/water" and lunch stops (lunch provided for all participants in Cloverdale). There will be 2 SAG vehicles on the route but participants should be fully self-sufficient on the road (carry tubes, pump/CO2, other snacks, 2 water bottles). 

Since we are starting and ending in Howarth Park, we can head to the Trailhouse for food and libations afterwards.
