Ready for the next bike ride? Siskiyou Century is Sept. 11th in Yreka

The first climb of the day on the Siskiyou Century 100-mile ride

The Summit Century out of Mt. Shasta had another wonderful year (see the post below), and now it’s time to think about fall bike rides. The Siskiyou Century, headquartered in Yreka, offers a different kind of ride: plenty of valley views along hay fields and pastures on routes that don’t provide nearly as much climbing as the Summit Century. Don’t get me wrong, the 100-mile century is still a challenging ride, but you’ll be looking at different settings on this ride. For folks who just don’t want to pedal that far, the metric 1/2 century (37 miles) and the metric century (64 miles) head out to the beautiful Little Shasta Valley, where you will have to push up some small hills, but mostly you’ll be cruising the flats and enjoying the scenery.

The Sept 11th ride tours both the Shasta Valley and the Scott Valley (for the 100-mile ride). Here you’ll get to see the heart of Siskiyou County’s agricultural production in valleys where farming families have been here for generations. The two shorter rides leave Yreka for Montague, a quiet town that used to be a bustling hub for cattle and goods moving on the railroad. From there the routes go out the Little Shasta Valley where the quaint church is the subject of many a photo. This valley ride is just beautiful, with green pastures along side the roads and Mt. Shasta towering over the scene.

The 100-mile leaves Yreka to climb Forest Mountain to the west, where you get to enjoy a long downhill into the Scott Valley. At Greenview riders make a right hand turn that sends them out to the tiny hamlet of Mugginsville and the beauty of the Quartz Valley. You’ll return to Fort Jones, then head down Eastside Road, my favorite part of the ride (until you hit the rollers at the end of the road when it’s usually really hot). Lunch in the cool shade at the fire station in Callahan gives you a rest before you tackle the 14-mile climb up to the Gazelle Mountain summit. They’ve promised to have beer at the top (but that was probably a joke) and the ice pops are always welcome. Coming down Gazelle Mountain is a downhiller’s favorite before the last flat 20 miles back to Yreka.

This is a wonderful fall ride that explores gorgeous, quiet roads of Northern California. Come check it out!
