34th Annual Kirch Flat Century and Rides
Hello Cycling Community! The Fresno Cycling Club is excited to invite all bicyclists to join us for the 34th Annual Kirch Flat Century and Rides. What started as a small group club ride with a ride leader and one SAG volunteer who took lunch to the Kirch Flat campground for the riders, has grown over the years into a fully supported event with SAG, 5 rest stops, 6 ride variations on 5 routes with Communications provided by the Clovis Amateur Radio Pioneers to keep our riders safe.
We will have the support that you have come to expect from the Fresno Cycling Club events. Ride benefits will include SAG (Support & Gear), fully stocked rest stops, communications and a delicious after-ride meal.
Please join us Saturday, May 4, 2024, at 7:00 am at Pasa Tiempo Park,
