RIDE INFORMATION

The community of North Fork Sierra Vista Scenic Byway Association are sponsoring the 26th Grizzly Century ride in order to promote the Sierra Vista National Scenic Byway and to encourage the enjoyment of our treasured resources. Come and spend the day taking in scenic vistas from the unique vantage point that only a cyclist can claim. “Profits” earned go toward promotion and improvement of the Scenic Byway, to town restoration, and other projects that benefit our mountain community.
