The Chico Velo Wildflower Ride is more than just an incredible ride—it’s the perfect way to experience the beauty of Butte County in springtime. With eight route options (from 12 to 125 miles), you’ll pass through charming towns and stunning scenery from wildflowers and orchards to redwoods and breathtaking vistas that makes this ride unforgettable.
If you’re traveling in for the event, why not make a long weekend of it? Butte County offers a wide range of lodging options—from cozy inns and boutique hotels to family-friendly stays or camping. Wherever you land, you’ll be close to great food, local breweries and wineries, outdoor adventures, and plenty of small-town charm.
For riders who prefer to stay right where the action is, camping at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds is available as well.
