Southern Sierra Cyclists Century 2026
Woodlake City Park
8 AM Start on Saturday - May 2nd, 2026
Description
Our rides will once again depart from Woodlake, and this year's routes offer a chance to explore the local area's scenic beauty while celebrating America's 250th anniversary. As you climb and descend Highway 245, you'll enjoy picturesque wildflower blooms—a fitting backdrop for our Paul Revere-inspired ride. Whether you're a spandex-wearing roadie ready to answer the call for an intense day of climbing, or you prefer to cruise at a leisurely pace through the countryside, there's a route for every patriot. E-bikes are welcome on the ride, but only Class 1 or Class 3 pedal-assist bikes are permitted. The club is hiring a photographer to capture the spirit of the event, and all riders will have access to the photos afterward—your own historic moment preserved!
Please select from the four options below, which have been tailored to various skill levels, and we'll see you in May for this commemorative ride!
Family Foothill
A flat 20 mile ride with scenic views of blossoming orchards surrounding Woodlake.
40 Mile & Metric
The 40 and 60 mile rides have a section of 245 to climb after completing the flat loop. Highway 245 is our local gem. Moderate grades for easier climbing, very little traffic, and wide lanes also allow for extremely fun and safe descending. The wildflowers should be blooming to further add to the visual charm.
Century
Our challenging century route heads further up Highway 245 before continuing on a loop to add some challenging climbing before descending down 245.
