The Party Pardee is a fun ride through the rolling foothills of Amador and Calaveras Counties near the gold rush town of Ione. Each year we choose a new theme and this year it's "Puttin' on the Ritz" so join us for a high steppin' good time at the Party Pardee Century.

100K Route (65 miles) The 100K route will take you through the quiet country around Ione, passing Lake Camanche and Pardee Reservoir, through quiet little towns like Buena Vista, Campo Seco, and Valley Springs. The route will provide a challenge for most riders with plenty of "rollers" through the green wooded foothills in all their spring glory. There is approximately 4150' of climbing on the 100K route.

50K Route (26 miles) The 50K route is a scaled down version of the 100K with less climbing and fewer miles but just as much scenery. The 50K will provide a challenge to those riders looking for a shorter option than a metric century. There is approximately 1505' of climbing on the 50K route.

100K Route $48.00 * 50K Route: $38.00 * * The prices includes route maps, road markings, fully stocked rest stops, SAG support, post ride meal, live music and some of the friendliest cyclists in the world. In addition the price NOW includes the Online Registration fees!

3FCentury
May 1, 2010 – 6:00 a.m.
Start at Colusa High School

When planning the 3F Century we wanted to offer a different experience. What with so many rides describing how many torturous feet of climbing there were in their ride, we wanted to offer the other extreme. The century ride offers a whopping 591’ vertical feet of elevation gain and 60% of that comes between miles 10 and 12. Come join us in a 3F Century - FLAT!, FAST! and FUN!. The ride begins at 6:00AM from Colusa High School and visits the small towns of Sutter, Biggs and Durham. Enjoy picturesque farmlands and the famous, scenic Sutter Buttes.

All proceeds from the ride benefit activity programs in the Colusa Unified School District.

Riders are required to obey all traffic laws. Camping and showers available.
