Cell Hill Century and Rides
(formally known as the Kirch Flat Century, also known as the pay your dues ride)
Hello Cycling Community!
The Fresno Cycling Club is excited to invite all bicyclists to join us for the new Cell Hill Century and Rides. We are introducing this new scaled down event in an effort to keep costs down thus allowing for less expensive registration fees. Come join us for this fun event to enjoy the beauty of the eastern Sierra foothills and Pine Flat Lake where the poppies will be in full bloom.
The five different rides will start from the Clovis Hills Community Church. The beginner/family friendly 15 mile route will be an out and back along the Willow Trail. The 45 mile, 63 mile, the 85 mile Hilly route, and the Century (108 miles) route will all start and finish at the church. In an effort to keep the registration price low we will provide three rest stops and two water stops, SAG, communications and an after-ride meal. Please join us on:
