There's no ride quite like the Mt. Shasta Summit Century. Challenging climbs. Breathtaking views. Lightly trafficked, rural roads. And a cloverleaf route that encourages you to test yourself -- you're never more than a downhill away from home.

Four routes await you -- including the Super Century that's tougher than the famed Markleeville Death Ride (it's like a Tour de France mountain stage). Rides of 30, 60 and 100 miles are also available.

Ready for a challenge?

Held in the stunning alpine environment surrounding 14,162' Mount Shasta, the Mount Shasta Summit Century is an endless parade of breathtaking views – and a challenging set of climbs. A cloverleaf route allows you to really challenge yourself; if you can't climb another foot, you simply turn around -- the finish is only a downhill away.

Our 135 mile Super Century features 16,500' of climbing. It's tougher than the Death Ride – but a lot prettier, and a better first ride for those who are new to hilly, mega-century rides.

Our Summit Century offers 10,500' of climbing. It's the perfect hilly century for those ready to move beyond standard centuries.

Our Metric Century is moderately hilly – only 4,200' of climbing in 58 miles. All the views at less than half the suffering!

Our Half Metric is for novices; 30 miles and 2100' of climbing. Pretty and easy.
