Choose Your Route

The Chico Velo Wildflower Century offers seven routes ranging from 12 miles to 125 miles giving riders of all ages and abilities an opportunity to experience the Wildflower.  All routes begin and end at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico, CA.

Childflower 12 Update

The registration price of $25 for the Childflower 12 is for one adult and one child. Each additional family member is only $10. A family member includes a parent/guardian or child. For example if you are a family of four, you will register one adult and one child for $25, then each additional family member for $10. Your entire registration price will be $25 + $10 + $10 = $45 for all four participants. Every rider under 16 must have an adult accompany the rider on the Childflower. We do not have chaperones for this ride, just a ride leader who will be there to help support you and your family to and from Durham.
