- The Mt. Shasta Summit Century web site, with great links and local information. Come register on-line for one of the four distinct rides in this great event! The Summit Century routes are set in a challenging, alpine
environment. s you pedal through some of the most breathtaking scenery
you've ever seen -- and ride up some of the most relentless climbs
you've ever climbed -- keep in mind our cloverleaf route layout, which
lets you push yourself farther than you ever expected. If you decide you
simply can't climb any more, the start/finish is only a downhill
away...
Many Options Avilable for Riders
The Super Century: Challenging & Impossibly Beautiful
A challenge for experienced riders - the equivalent of a Tour de France
mountain stage! Four significant climbs dot this ride, which challenges
you with 135 miles and 16,500' of climbing! Riding on lightly traveled
rural roads, you'll wind to the top of Parks Creek Summit (6,854'); up a
stunning river gorge to Mumbo Summit (6,300'); through forested roads up
to Castle Lake (a mountain cirque at 5400'); and finally, a breathtaking
14 mile climb up Mount Shasta's moderately graded (6% average) forested
roads (7850'). Views of Shasta, Mt. Eddy, Castle Crags and even Mt.
Lassen abound. Not sure if you're ready for this challenge? Our route
forms a cloverleaf, so you can bail out at any time and only face a
short ride. Time to test yourself! Download a pdf map of the Super Century Route.
The Summit Century: All the views at 2/3 the climbing.
Similar to the Super Century but it omits the first climb. The same
cloverleaf route means you're never too far from the finish - perfect if
you have ridden a century but aren't sure if you're ready for a real
test of your climbing ability. Your final climb is the 14 mile ascent to
the Old Ski Bowl on Mt. Shasta, and you finish the ride with an
exhilarating 14-mile downhill on Mt. Shasta's graded, smooth roads.
10,500' of climbing. Download a pdf map of the Summit Century Route.
Metric Century: Friendly ride with stunning views
Ideal for those who can finish a flat metric century, this ride follows
the route of the Summit Century but omits the two final climbs. The ride
up the rugged South Fork of Upper Sacramento river gorge is challenging
and scenic. 60 miles/4,000' of climbing. Download a pdf map of the Summit Metric Century Route.
- The Siskiyou Century offers three distances through the beautiful Shasta Valley in northern Siskiyou County. The century ride climbs two mountains to take riders from the Shasta Valley to the Scott Valley.
