The Route’s GPS links:
- GPS Links (Ride with GPS) [PRELIMINARY]: 100 mile (with 90 mile option) | 100K | 25 mile Fun Ride
- Route Sheets: Will be provided later
- All routes start at Mission San Jose High School in Fremont.
Note: We reserve the right to change the routes if external events prevent us from using the original route.
We will continue to use last year’s Primavera route changes due to safety concerns about the construction in Niles Canyon and at the entry from Palomares Road. Caltrans informed us that they will still have the barriers up that have eliminated the shoulder through the canyon. Due to numerous rider’s suggestions from last year, we eliminated the last hill on Paseo Padre at the end of the 100k/100 mile ride.
Three Routes to choose from:
Complete Century (101 miles, 6000 ft climbing): Start at Mission San Jose High School in Fremont and ride south toward Calaveras Road. Go up Calaveras Road, over “The Wall” and then a cruise alongside beautiful Calaveras Reservoir. Ride on to Sunol, Pleasanton, and Livermore, past vineyards to the base of Patterson Pass, looping back to lunch at a winery. Return by heading south down Calaveras Road and back to Fremont for a hearty meal. (The 90 mile option bypasses the loop to Patterson Pass, going straight to the winery/lunch stop).
100K (63 miles, 4500 ft climbing): Same as Complete Century, but skips the loop through Livermore and Patterson Pass.
Fun Ride (25 miles, mostly flat, 460 ft): Pedal to Coyote Hills Regional Park using parts of the Alameda Creek Trail on this mostly flat, fun and educational ride. Experience the FUN of an organized ride! Suitable for newer riders, or those riders just returning to bicycling.

SAGs will be carrying some bike repair equipment – if additional repair is required they will deliver you to a mechanic at the next rest stop.
eBike policy:
Class 1 and 3 (pedal assisted) eBikes are allowed on the 100k and 90/100 mile rides. eBikes are not allowed on the FUN ride because it goes through Coyote Hills Regional Park which prohibits eBikes. Class 2 (throttle assist) are NOT allowed on any rides.
