From the organizers
All profit from this event go to fund the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway Association, so it only makes sense that the featured routes of the event spotlight the Scenic Byway. Weather you’re riding the new Gravel routes we added a few year ago, or the classic traditional paved routes of the Century & Metric Road rides, you’ll be experience the beauty, tranquility & adventure of the Sierra National Forest. Obviously the dirt sections of the gravel routes see almost zero vehicles, but the paved route also see very few cars!
