COME RIDE WITH US!

Located where the scenic Southern Cascades bump into the gentle Northern Sierras, the Mile High 100 will treat you to a quiet day on the back roads that wander through the lush green forests surrounding Lake Almanor and the Indian Valley. This is not a race, but a collection of tours for cyclists of all abilities. The purpose of this event is to promote recreational bicycling "under the volcano" in the shadow of Northern California's incredible Lassen Peak with scenic views around Lake Almanor. Proceeds from this event are invested in organized recreation in the Lake Almanor Basin and provide support for the Lake Almanor Area Chamber of Commerce. This ride is known for having the friendliest volunteers, best food, and most beautiful scenery in Northern California.

 

THREE RIDES TO CHOOSE FROM: 

 

CENTURY RIDE (108 MILES) – This is a relatively easy ride by century standards. It takes you around Lake Almanor and through the peaceful Indian Valley. Approximately 3,200' total elevation climb.
