Experience a beautiful and challenging ride through the redwoods in Mendocino County, California.

There are three rides – the Scary Monster is 100 miles (160 kilometers) and includes 9200 feet of climbing - the Hairy Monster is 62 miles (100 kilometers) and includes 6900 feet of climbing – and the Merry Monster is 26 miles (41 kilometers) with 750 feet of climbing. 

Both the Scary Monster and the Hairy Monster take you over quiet country roads and include challenging ridge top climbs with stunning panoramas of Mendocino County. Both the Scary and Hairy travel through beautiful redwood groves and pastoral farmland, and if you choose the Scary Monster, you’ll also get to ride along the Pacific Ocean. 

The Merry Monster is a beautiful easy ride that goes through some beautiful countryside with vineyard views and peaceful farmlands. 

All three of these rides are really well organized with outstanding rest stops.

We also have well organized SAG support, which will be available to help you if you are too tired to finish or need mechanical help. All our SAG personnel are also licensed HAM radio operators, which allows good communcation in the many areas of our route without cell phone reception.

Note: because we have poorly maintained roads in our county, it is recommended that you consider either a gravel bike or prepare your road bike to handle rough roads for this ride.

Registration includes: 

  • A goodie bag with some really cool gifts
  • A swingin’ t-shirt with our cool Mendocino Monster graphic
  • Our wonderful end-of-ride barbecue

Both the Scary Monster and Hairy Monster rides are $75.00 ($65.00 if you register by April 15).

The Merry Monster is $50.00 ($40.00 if you register early)
