100 Mile Century Route The Sequoia Century course features an impressive 10,000 feet of elevation gain on quiet back roads through the coastside towns of Loma Mar, Pescadero and San Gregorio, as well as Woodside and Portola Valley. This loop course passes through oak and redwood forests, past ridgetop meadows, beside vast agricultural fields, and along the scenic Pacific Ocean.

80 Mile with Gravel Route 
The Sequoia Gravel course has over 8,000 feet of climbing and includes 12 miles of packed dirt roads and trails. It is similar to the 75 mile Challenge route, but has three gravel sections: Dirt Alpine, Old Haul Rd, and Purisima Creek Trail. The gravel route is for independent riders that are confident on dirt, have appropriate bike / tires, and can handle most mechanical issues themselves. There is no SAG support on the dirt sections. Due to restrictions in the areas traversed by the gravel parts, ebikes are not permitted and only 49 registrants are allowed. Note that ticks can be present in sections where vegetation encroaches on trail so dress accordingly.

75 Mile Challenge Route
The Sequoia Challenge course has nearly 8,000 feet of climbing on quiet back roads through Loma Mar, Pescadero, San Gregorio, Woodside and Portola Valley. This loop out to the coast and back passes along ridgetop vistas, redwood forests, quiet backroads and scenic Pacific seascapes.

62 Mile Metric Century Route The Sequoia Metric Century course has over 6,600 feet of elevation gain out to the coast and back. The early climb up Page Mill Road to Skyline Boulevard descends through stately redwoods and rolling hills out to the coast. Then climb 7.4 miles and 2000 ft. on Tunitas Creek Road to a well-deserved rest at the top of Kings Mountain Road. Smooth sailing back through Portola Valley to the finish.
43 Mile Fun Ride Route The Sequoia Fun course will take riders “out and back” through scenic landscapes and will test their endurance. Riders should be prepared to conquer 2,800 feet of elevation gain through rolling hills and along scenic peninsula routes with views of Crystal Springs Reservoir. This course is a great starter ride for those who crave a challenge and seek to push their boundaries. Experience the beautiful landscape while enjoying the camaraderie and support of fellow cycling enthusiasts.
