High Sierra Fall Century
September 16, 2000
by Geoff McQuilkin
Have you been training? Now is the time to start! The
6th Annual
High Sierra Fall Century ride will take place on September 16, 2000. This 100-mile course takes you along the spectacular east side of the Sierra and into the quiet beauty of the Mono Basin with its awesome views of Mono Lake, the White Mountains, and the Sierra Nevada range. If 100 miles of non-stop riding amidst sensational scenery is more than you want to conquer, how about a shorter ride of 30 or 45 miles? Both will be available this year with just as much beauty along the way.
This year’s ride is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Mark Milford, a renowned surgeon from Allied Gardens. He had been an avid outdoorsman, racing motorcycles, competing in a number of distance running events, and recently taking up cycling. Dr. Millford was killed in an auto accident outside Lone Pine while on the way to participate in last year’s High Sierra Fall Century.
Proceeds from the High Sierra Fall Century benefit the Mono Lake Committee and the Sierra Cycling Foundation. Registration brochures for this year’s ride will be available in April. For more information contact Craig Roecker at (760) 647-6595 and visit our website at www.fallcentury.org.
