19-Pedali Club Ride Sunday 7:30am Mt Shasta Fish Hatchery The
"You'll be Wailin' by Whalan" Summit ride Approximately 60 miles,
including what may be the toughest climb in the South County. New for this
ride is that it is all paved.We start at the Mt. Shasta Fish Hatchery and
make the long downhill run through the historic railroad town of Dunsmuir
take the road by the Castle Crags State Park entrance. There, we begin several
miles of rolling, moderate climbs along a beautiful stream. This idyllic riding
continues to the first bridge, where the real grunt work starts. It's approximately
ten miles to the summit along a twisty chip-n-seal road that hardly reflects
the best work ever done by California's road crews. It's plenty rideable,
but if you like to pump those tires up to 140 psi, you might regret it. Sections
of this climb confront you with 15+ percent grades (and perhaps the reality
of your own advancing age, if you catch my drift). Ouch. From there, we'll
loop around to Mumbo Summit and take that twisty canyon plunge back to Mt.
Shasta and our starting point. Halfway up the climb, don't forget to turn
around and look behind you for an awesome view of the Castle Crags.Bring plenty
of water as none is available after the climb begins. Pete has a small purifier
for water from Castle Creek but if someone has a pump bring it as well. Arm
warmers are also a good idea.

August
2-Mt
Shasta Hill Climb Ride- a timed race up Everett Memorial Highway
on Saturday,the day before the Mount Shasta Summit Century bicycle ride. Slightly
over 14 miles in length, the hillclimb begins in downtown Mount Shasta and
ends at the old ski bowl – an altitude gain of over 4100 vertical feet.
2-Mt Shasta
Summit Century- There's no ride quite like the Mt. Shasta Summit Century.
Challenging climbs. Breathtaking views. Lightly trafficked, rural roads. And
a cloverleaf route that encourages you to test yourself -- you're never more
than a downhill away from home.

20- Slammin Salmon Century click
here ro re-visit the 2005 ride. Sunday 8am sharp departure at
the Joss
Johnson Park next to the tennis courts and Etna High School. We will have
a support vehicle to carry food, drink and extra clothing. Space in the vehicle
is limited so think compact. This is a Siskiyou County classic 100mi loop
with over 10,000 feet of climbing. We start in the quaint town of Etna; then
to the old mining community of Callahan; the work now begins for the 12 mile
climb to Carter Meadows with a reward to follow, the great descent to the
remote mining village of Cecilville. We will follow the South Fork of the
Salmon River to Forks of the Salmon community. At the Forks we will have a
no host lunch, bring your lunch to Etna and our support car will carry it
to our lunch stop for you. We then ride upriver to Sawers Bar, home to the
oldest and still in service church in Siskiyou County. Riders will continue
up river for a few miles until the Idwild Camp at the foot of the 12 mile
uphill grind. This is where the work really begins, the next 12 mile climb
has five miles of a 13% sustained grade. After a treacherous descent we will
return to the park in Etna and a celebratory no host dinner at the Etna Brewery.
This scenic 101 mile loop will visit some of California's most remote and
picturesque mountain communities. Mark Pine is the ride leader, please call
him with any questions and an RSVP would be helpful for planning purposes
