Three Courses

Ride Information:

All courses begin at Club One Petaluma - where you'll find check in, light breakfast food (coffee, pastries, and the like), some goodies for the road (bars, GU, etc.) and a place to fill up your bottles.  We aren't doing swag bags this year so you don't have to do the back and forth to the car - the swag will be at the festival after the ride.  Note: The climb figures were generated by driving the courses with Strava. Turn by turns, elevation profiles, and maps will be posted shortly.

The Challenge: Century Ride (99.7 Miles, 6,810 ft of climb):

Are you up for The Challenge? Give this ride a go. It'll be a long day in the saddle but you'll be rewarded with some of the best scenic country that we have to offer in Sonoma County.  Rolling hills, pasture lands, vineyards, coast line, redwood groves, and challenging climbs await you.  This course will take you over the famous Marshall Wall, on the Bohemian Highway, and over Joy Road - and it will all be worth it.  This ride is for more experienced riders.

Please note that the road conditions are ever changing - these courses are subject to change.  We'll do our best to notify you if/when we modify the course.  The back roads of Sonoma County can be rough, bumpy, pot hole-ridden, and narrow - we've done our best to utilize the best roads.  You may be required to ride single file in some places.  We expect you to abide by local traffic laws, stop at stop signs, be aware of cars, share the road, and put your safety and the safety of your fellow riders as your highest priority - as it is ours - and most importantly HAVE FUN!
