Tour de Manure - Sierraville, CA
What the heck is the
Tour de Manure?
“It’s a bunch of Sierra Valley folks sharing their beautiful ranchlands with two-wheelers!” says Doug Read, founder of the one of California’s quirkiest rides, Sierra Valley’s Tour de Manure.
Cyclists say they love the Tour de Manure first because of its spirited volunteers, then because of the scenery. After getting your T-shirt and registration in downtown Sierraville at the fire station, head out into the valley, where volunteer “Turn Cowboys” guide you along the course. Rest stops run by bicycle clubs and chambers of commerce offer the sort of hash that historic Sierra gold miners turned to after a long day's hau
Just when you think you’re riding into a meadow-land outer space, a homemade lemonade stand appears, run by the Spencer family next to their Lost Marbles ranch out in the central Sierra Valley. Most of the ride is flat, but near the end there are a few hills and sometimes some headwind, so save that energy and be prepared.
At the finish line party in downtown Sierraville, firefighters don’t let cyclists — or guests — go hungry. They serve up BBQ chicken, tri-tip and beans by When Pigs Fly BBQ, along with pasta, salad, garlic bread, and homemade desserts. Los Dos Hermanos, the restaurant next door, brings over salsa and fresh chips. Bring your dancing shoes to step out to the tunes of the Michael Hogan and the Simpletones, this year featuring the transformative piano playing of David Fenimore.
Mile High 100
The Mile High 100 is a wonderfully scenic century, metric century, and half metric century event in its 40th year for 2023! It is located in the shadow of Mount Lassen with event routes in beautiful Plumas County, CA. Always on the Saturday of Father's Day weekend, it's a perfect family event or a day of escape out on the bike. Start and finish are in Chester, CA, with routes taking in the majestic views of the Warner Valley, Lake Almanor basin, and Indian Valley.

Foxy Fall Century Ride
Foxy Fall Century Ride in Davis, CA. The Foxy’s Fall Century is scheduled to return for 2021.
The Davis Bike Club has sponsored the Foxy’s Fall Century annually since the late 1960’s, and it has proven to be a very popular event because of our beautiful course, the enthusiastic support of our volunteers as well as the food and amenities that the Davis Bike Club offers during this event. Unfortunately, the Davis Bike Club was obliged to cancel the 2020 Foxy’s Fall Century because of the Covid-19 pandemic. But with the rollout of the vaccination program, we believe that it will be possible to hold the Foxy’s this year. Please check back at the Davis Bike Club website or Foxy’s Facebook page for updates over the course of the summer.
Thank you for your interest in the Foxy’s Fall Century and we hope to see you October 21st, 2023!

Ride for Tate

This is a laid-back and informal gathering to remember our friend Tate.
There are two meeting location options to participate in this ride:
If you are in decent shape and would like to take on the longer ride, we will leave from the Reno Softball Complex off of N. Virginia St., just north of the University at 9 AM.
That group will head up Evans Canyon and meet the later group at the Hoge Road trail head by the towers.
If you are looking for a shorter ride, the Evans Canyon group will start from Hoge Rd between 9:45 AM and 10 AM. At approximately 10 a.m. the whole group will leave Hoge Rd and head up Total Recall trail to the first snowboard bench, where we will regroup and hang out for a bit.
The plan is for the whole group to descend back to the Hoge Road trailhead, where drinks and treats will be available.
If weather requires a change in plans, we will give those details.
