Mr. Frog's Wild Ride

Come to Calaveras County to bicycle through the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills.

Wildflower-full April is a great time to get into the frontier spirit evoked by Mark Twain in his “Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.” 

We are showing off the southwest end of our county and have even included a TIME TRIAL in the middle of the longer ride. We are not changing the route this year because of the great feedback we had from the riders last year. Both rides will leave you hungry for that homemade BBQ at the finish in Feeney Park.

All the climbing and zippy downhills will be there without the rigors of the rough roads of past Mr. Frog’s Wild Rides. The long route will include a ride to New Melones Lake and feature a short time trial in the middle if desired. Winner of the time trial will be awarded a prize at the conclusion of the ride.

There is one mile of gravel in the long ride--that is perfectly rideable--so one can pretend briefly to be a randonneur at the Paris Roubaix. Elevation gain is 4436 ft. for the 100K and 2461 ft. for the 50K ride.

Everyone from kids to grandparents are welcome to join in the fun whether riding or not. Spend Sunday wine tasting, hiking, enjoying the sights and history, shopping, or just relaxing. There will great food, live music, and much more.

• Rest Stops with fresh fruit, pastries & delightful, delicious surprises
