PARTY PARDEE
7:30 AM
Ione
Howard Park - State Hwy 124

Party Pardee is a fun ride through the rolling foothills of Amador and Calaveras Counties near the Gold Rush town of Ione. This year’s theme is California Dreamin! You’ll find colorful rest stops and friendly costumed volunteers to greet and refuel you along your tour. At the end of the ride you’ll enjoy a delicious after-ride meal and live music by Mumbo Gumbo. The 100K (65 miles) route will take you through the quiet country around Ione, passing Lake Camanche and Pardee Reservoir, through quiet little towns like Buena Vista, Campo Seco, and Valley Springs. The route will provide a challenge for most riders with plenty of rollers through the green wooded foothills in all their Spring glory. The 50K (26 miles) route is a scaled down version of the 100K with less climbing and fewer miles but just as much scenery. The 50K will provide a challenge to those riders looking for a shorter option than a metric century. Preregistration required. Members must sign in and out on the Wheelmen Ride Roster, wear the Wheelmen Jersey on the ride, register for the ride with the host club (www.bikehikers.com), and pay the entry fee.
