Santa Cruz Mountains Challenge Virtual Ride
July 17 — 25

The Santa Cruz County Cycling Club invites you to join us for this year’s Santa Cruz Mountains Challenge Virtual Ride July 17 thru July 25, featuring climbs through soaring redwoods and roads hugging the spectacular Central Coast.
The longest ride for this year’s challenge is the Century with 11,000+ of climbing. For added flavor we’ve added a ‘Gravel’ Century, the off-road climb goes through Wilder State Park and is certain to become an instant classic. If you’re not quite up for the big challenge of the Century ride, there’s the Half Century route.
These routes entail: • Stunning Views • Bucket List Climbs • Sweet Descents • Which route are you up for?
This event is presented by the Santa Cruz County Cycling Club. Proceeds from the event benefit the Community Bike Collective (former Trips for Kids) and the Watsonville High School Mountain Bike Team.
So grab your bike, and get up for the challenge. Hope to see you there!
