Here are the route descriptions for 2009.
60K
(37.2 mi, 990 ft)
If you have not ridden much over the winter, we recommend this flat route through Gilroy and a big loop out past Uvas and Chesbro Reservoirs. This route makes a good family ride.
100K (63.7 mi, 2350 ft)
With the 100K, you do much of your climbing in the morning, as you start with a climb to Gilroy Hot Springs. After a descent down Cañada Road, you will cross the valley and loop around Uvas and Chesbro Reservoirs before returning to Gavilan College.
Hilly 100 Miles (97.5 mi, 6180
ft)
Goodbye Metcalf, Hello Henry Coe! After a quick ride north past Uvas and Calero Reservoirs, you will turn south and east for a (new this year!) challenging climb up Thomas Grade and Dunne Ave to Henry Coe State Park headquarters. Then you descend back down the same roads and continue south for an afternoon climb up to Gilroy Hot Springs. Then descend Cañada Road before returning to Gavilan College.
Hilly 200K (121.9 mi, 6940 ft)
The 200K follows the 100 Mile route from the beginning, with climbs up to Henry Coe and Gilroy Hot Springs. Finally, at the 92-mile mark, the 200K heads back north and west for a scenic loop around Chesbro and Uvas reservoirs before returning to Gavilan College.  |
