THE SIXTH ANNUAL FIFTY MILE RIDE

50 Mile Ride

Be a part of one of the biggest and funnest mountain bike events in Southern California.

Here's your chance to ride alongside one of the world's premier cyclists. We're honored to have Jonathan (Jock) Boyer join our event this year. Jock is the Coach of Team Rwanda Cycling, a position he has held since the team was founded in 2007. A world-class cyclist himself, Jock was the first American to ride in the Tour de France in 1981, and competed in the Tour five times during his pro career. Among his many pro victories, Jock was the 1985 winner of the Race Across America (RAAM), a grueling 3000+ mile race stretching from Huntington Beach CA to Atlantic City NJ. He also won the Enduro Solo Division of the RAAM in 2006. Something tells me our 50 Mile Ride should be no problem for Jock. (Should we make him take two laps?)
