BIKE MAINTENANCE

Although we will have volunteers on bikes, in vehicles, and at some rest stops to assist in case you have trouble, please make sure your bike tires are inflated correctly and that it has been tuned properly. If you are unsure, please stop by your local bike shop to have your bike checked.

ON THE ROAD

We have made changes to all three routes this year. Please take a moment after checking in to carefully review your route map before getting on the road. If you just follow the person in front of you, you may end up on the wrong route!

The Flat 50K riders will ride to the town of Winters for an enjoyable lunch/snack at Rotary Park (closes at 1:00 PM) and return to Davis.

The 100K riders will have their first rest stop in a church parking lot on Allendale Road; please ride cautiously into and out of the parking area (closes at noon). The lunch stop is at Lake Solano.

The 100 mile riders will stop for snacks at Lake Solano, lunch in the beautiful Gordon Valley (closes at 2:30 PM), and take another break at Lake Solano (closes at 4:30 PM) before returning to Davis.  Please remember that Rotary Park in Winters is not a stop for the 100 mile and 100K riders. Please follow the sign directing you to continue on Putah Creek Road to Davis.

There are three rest stops and additional water stops on the 100 mile course, two on the 100 k metric course and one on the Flat 50K course. Yes, there are plenty of snacks, fruits, drinks; and you will have sandwiches at the lunch stop.

100K and 100 mile riders who want to drop off jackets or warmers at their first rest stops on Allendale Road (for 100K riders) and at Lake Solano (for 100 mile riders) can put those items in a drop bag that will be provided. Please put your name and phone number on the bag (no valuables please). The bags will be transported back to the start/finish by 4 PM, so that you may retrieve your personal items.  Also, you are welcome to bring your own bag.

Please do not put trash in the porta potties. 

COURSE ELEVATION GAIN

You can view the elevation profiles of all three routes (and upload the course track to a Garmin-type device) from our Ride with GPS maps. The Course Options page contains the respective links.

CHANGING YOUR COURSE SELECTION

If you decide that you want to switch from the 100 mile ride to the 100K ride (or vise versa), please inform the volunteer when you check in.  If you want to upgrade from the Flat 50K, please check in at the help desk to pay the difference.
