Palm Desert Century

2nd Annual Palm Desert Century Bicycle Ride

Saturday, November 10, 2012

This ride is a public, recreational road bicycle event held in the Coachella Valley. The Palm Desert Century Ride rolls on Saturday, November 10th, 2012 from the Ride’s Start/Finish point in the new grassy University Park on Cook Street in Palm Desert. The Presenting Sponsor is the Desert Recreation District and the Official Event Charity is the Trips for Kids Coachella Valley Chapter. The Palm Desert Century (PDC) is produced by Shadow Tour, LLC.

Course: The course design is out-and-back, from Palm Desert to Chiriaco Summit. This allows riders to select customized distances from 20 to 100 miles based on personal conditioning levels and the weather on the day of the ride. Full Century Riders may participate in an optional chip-timed solo 15-mile ride up the gentle Chiriaco Summit grade from Mecca — which is below sea level — to the Chiriaco Summit (elevation 1,300 feet). The ride will utilize mostly low traffic roads surrounded by pristine desert scenery and the soaring San Jacinto Mountains. All of this will make this another safe, scenic and sensational century ride on roads less traveled with Shadow Tour.

Trips for Kids: The Palm Desert Century Ride is also an important fundraising event supporting the Trips for Kids Coachella Valley. Riders are encouraged to make donations to Trips for Kids through the Donation Page, which is provided on the www.shadowtour.com. Early registrants receive the most favorable prices, so register today!
