THIS NEW ADDITION TO THE
Chico Velo Century Series has been enjoyed by local riders for years.

The route then turns north along Stony Creek, Grindstone Creek coming out of the Yolla Bollys, to Chrome, Burrows Gap and then into Newville. Turning east, the course rolls past Black Butte Lake and into Orland for the finish dinner at the Glenn County Fairgrounds. Helmets are REQUIRED!
