35th Annual Kirch Flat Century and Rides
Hello Cycling Community!
The Fresno Cycling Club is excited to invite all bicyclists to join us for the 35th Annual Kirch Flat Century and Rides. What started as a small group club ride with a ride leader, has grown over the years into a fully supported event with SAG (Support & Gear), five rest stops and six different routes with radio communication keeping our riders safe.
New this year we have a new Start/Finish location. As such, we were able to add some more challenging routes. The Hilly Metric+ will be an 85 mile route, the Century+ will be 110 mile route and for those wanting a real challenge we added a 117 mile route with an extra 1000' of climbing, going all the way to Kirch Flat. We will still have the support that you have come to expect from the Fresno Cycling Club events with SAG, rest stops, communications and a delicious after-ride meal. Please join us on:
