The Fresno Cycling Club Climb to Kaiser

The Fresno Cycling Club is proud to present the 45th Annual Climb to Kaiser and Tollhouse Century on Saturday, June 22, 2024.  The Climb to Kaiser is one of the most epic legendary rides you will find to challenge your abilities. It is a ride that requires significant training and effort to make sure you finish. The traditional Climb to Kaiser is rated as one of the 10 toughest rides in America by Bicycling Magazine. It is 155 miles with over 15,000+ feet of climbing. This ride will test your mental and physical toughness. It is a ride that showcases the beauty and majesty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. You will enjoy the scenic vistas and ride along two beautiful lakes, Shaver Lake and Huntington Lake. 

The Tollhouse Century is 99 miles long with 8,200 feet of climbing. Perfect for the intermediate climber who hasn't trained enough to complete the Climb to Kaiser but wants to feel it out first and get a taste of the Sierra Nevada foothills and the Valley heat.
