  The Sequoia Century is the Western Wheelers Bicycle Club's annual, fully supported bicycling event. This year, we are returning to Foothill College after a multi-year absence. The registration fee will, for the first time, include a hot meal at the end of the ride. The fee also includes parking at Foothill College. The fee will be $60 for those registering by May 18 and $75 for those registering between May 19 and June 2. The ride is limited to 1300 participants.
  
  The ride winds through the redwoods. The 200K, 100-mile and 100K routes climb Redwood Gulch before descending toward the coast. The routes are challenging.   Redwood Gulch and Big Basin Way climbs total 1900 feet in 4.5 miles. There is also a mellower 50-mile route. The routes are available for download at http://ridewithgps.com/users/85167.
  
  Registrations may be paid online by Visa or MasterCard or by check. Registrations are not refundable, but may be transferred.  The ride will not be cancelled due to bad weather.

    La Honda Center for Lunch

  Each year on the Saturday following the Sequoia, Western Wheelers sponsors a ride for our volunteers. The routes approximate the three longer Sequoia routes, and we add easier routes to substitute for the 50 mile route. In this way, all level of volunteer riders have a ride available and we all get to share lunch and camaraderie in La Honda.

  
  

  This year, we would like to have those who plan to ride and have lunch to sign up in advance. This will allow us to place a lunch order with the La Honda Market. Thank you.
