Swami's Cycling Club Presents.... Our 5th Annual Swamdo Century!
The Swami’s Fondo is now a late fall fixture in North County, with three challenging and scenic routes, fully supported with stocked rest stops at regular intervals. In addition to offering our classic Medio and Piccolo routes (67 and 37 miles), our full century route has the unforgettable, leg-busting loop through De Luz. You have the choice of prolonging your punishment with another run up Olive Hill and a loop around Sleeping Indian for the full 100, or call it good once you hit the Bonsall rest stop and head back for a solid total around 87 miles.
This year all proceeds from the ride will go directly to purchasing bikes and helmets for children for the Holiday Baskets program organized by the Community Resource Center in Encinitas.
All rides depart from Iron Fist Brewery in Vista. Perhaps more important than the ride itself is the party that follows. Join us from 12pm-5pm at the Fist for a catered party, including offerings from our sponsor Gelson’s Markets in La Costa, along with beer, wine, and less popular beverages. The party is included in the registration, and definitely a highlight of the event.
Your ride length choice need not be made now - prices are the same for each event ($20 members / $40 non-members). The routes overlap, and so depending on how you are feeling at the primary Bonsall rest stop, you can decide to head back early to make the most of the party, or continue your ride into the afternoon hours.
