SRCC is a social/recreational organization comprised of cycling enthusiasts with a wide range of abilities and interests. Our purpose is to promote the safe and efficient use of bicycles by staging club rides and cycling events and by maintaining an active presence in the local community through safety programs and support of other non-profit groups.

The club was founded in the late 1960s as a racing team. Over the years, its focus has broadened to embrace many forms of cycling including recreational rides, bike commuting, long-distance touring, randonneuring and ultra-distance events. In the late 1980's, as interest in cycling grew, club membership really blossomed. Now we are the largest cycling club in the county, and perhaps in the North Bay, with close to 1600 members.

You can find a great deal of information about what is going on in the club by browsing through our website: www.srcc.com.

OUR MARQUEE EVENTS
The Wine Country Century is one of the premier club-supported rides in Northern California. Held annually since 1980 on the first Saturday in May, it attracts riders to routes of 125, 100, 65, and 35 miles through the vineyards, orchards, and forests west and north of Santa Rosa. It has a well-deserved reputation as a great ride, combining superb scenery, entertaining roads, and cheerful, efficient support from our crew of member-volunteers.

The Terrible Two has likewise earned a reputation...as one of the toughest double centuries in the United States, but also one of the most beautiful and best-supported doubles. Held in June each year since 1976, this event challenges its riders with 200 miles and over 16,000' of steep elevation gain, and--sometimes--with summertime temperatures on the high side of 100°. In 2014 we introduced the Terrible 200K (aka the "Tolerable Two"), a shorter but still tough enough version of the full 200 mile event.
