Century Rides
Saturday, September 11 - 7:00am – 6:00pm
Folsom City Lions Park

Century Rides: As tenacious pioneers forged their way up steep canyon walls and descended deep gullies seeking riches, they created paths that became some of the best cycling routes in Northern California. Visit the back roads of the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Climbs hills like Baxter’s grade and the beautiful back roads around the Bear River. Enjoy the unique, beautiful and challenge rides of the Sierra.

These events will be a fully supported ride coordinated by Capitol Adventure and the dedicated members of Cycle Folsom and the Folsom Area Bicycle Advocates. You’ll be rewarded with some of the best views of the countryside as you travel through these rural communities along the way, with a couple of challenging climbs. The course is fully supported with great volunteers and a wide variety food to keep you energized.

This year we have returned to Auburn with a Full Century course in addition to the Metric and Half-Metric Century Rides.  

Support - Gold Rush Full Century, Metric and Half-Metric Century 

Start / Finish - Folsom Lions City Park, Stafford St.

Rest Stops:
There are 3 rest stops and a couple water stops on the Full Century route. The 3 rest stops will provide restrooms, food and drinks. The water stops will only provide water and limited food. In addition, a free feast will be provided at the end of the ride at the Cyclebration festival site at Folsom City Park.

Rest Stop No. 1 will be at the Loomis Basin Regional Park (approximate mile 15)
Rest Stop No. 2 is at the Auburn District Regional Park (approximate mile 34)
Rest Stop No. 3 is at the Bear River Campgrounds (approximate mile 50)

Water Stations are still to be determined.

Food:
One of the highlights of this ride is the great food offered at the rest stops. The exact selection and quantities will vary from year to year based on availability and feedback from riders.
The two rest stops are planning on having peanut butter, jam, cream cheese, bagels, fruit, nuts, crackers, cookies, sodas, Gatorade, cliff bars, etc. So don’t worry about running out of energy on this ride.

There will also be a free “after ride” meal for all riders at the finish.  It will be an all-you- can-eat salad, garlic bread, pasta and fruit.  

Restrooms
Restrooms and/or porta potties will be available at rest stops.  

SAG – Support and Gear
There will be a sag wagon patrolling the entire route. The sag is equipped with tools and supplies to repair minor bike problems (flats, etc.) and a broom to take care of roadside glass if such is reported to them.  Riders are asked to report any glass to sag or to the rest stop volunteers.
Sag support is the not the same as a taxi.  Our Sags are on the course for everyone’s safety and the best we many be able to do is move you forward to the next rest stop, where you will have to wait until another sag can move you forward one more rest stop (and on to the finish).  We will make every effort to accommodate you.

Riding Ambassadors
In addition to our sag wagon there will also be Riding Ambassadors. They will leave at various times and will try staying with the larger groups of riders.  They will have cells phones and will have contact with our dispatch for any emergencies and sag support.

Mechanical
Some mechanical support at the start/finish as well as at some rest stops will be available. While this arrangement may not be able to fix serious issues, it should be able to resolve minor ones to allow you to potentially finish. If mechanic recommends that your bike is not safe to continue on, we ask that you respect this recommendation and allow us to sag you to the finish.
