Several century rides I listed in the December 13 post were uncertain at the time. Note that some fees have increased due to the end of early registration. Here are some updates:
April
9 Saturday. The Cinderella Classic and Challenge. Women and girls only. $58. Registration is currently open. Registration capped at 2,500 but is still open. Registration will end on March 27 regardless of whether the event is sold out (but it usually does). Note that Different Spokes’ Evil Step Sisters Ride, which usually is the same day as the Cinderalla, is one week earlier this year, on Saturday, April 2.
17 Sunday. Primavera Century. All sold out except for 25-mile Fun Ride. But the latter starts late enough that you could take BART to the start. $30.
23 Saturday. SLO Wildflower. $75. Not sold out yet but limit of 1,400 riders.
24 Sunday. Mt Hamilton Challenge. Still no details yet and time is running out. Hard to believe this Bay Area cycling institution won’t take place. Let’s hope they pull it together.
24 Sunday. Chico Velo Wildflower Century. $85. Registration is still open. Capped at 4,000 this year.
30 Saturday. Motherlode Century. $85. Online registration ends on 4/26.
30 Saturday. Tierra Bella. $65. Registration is still open. Capped at 2,000.

21 Saturday. Davis Double. Registration opens 3/1/16.
27-30 Weekend. Great Western Bicycle Rally. $72.50 until 3/1, then $87.50. Registration is still open.

25 Saturday. DSSF Gay Pride Ride. Our very own Gay Pride ride before the big day!
25 Saturday. Alta Alpina Challenge. $100. Also known as “the other Death Ride.” Registration is open. Apparently no limit on the number of registrants.
