Event Description:
Welcome to the 15th Annual Stagecoach Century! Kick off your New Year at America's Wild West cycling stampede! Just 80 miles east of sunny San Diego, CA. Enjoy undisturbed natural scenery, legendary Volunteer support, just 2 lonely stop signs, and low vehicular traffic. The out-n-back route maximizes rider's distance options. Mid-February is an ideal season for pristine desert cycling. Usually cool/cold starts, with warm/sunny finishes. Temperature, Wind, and Low Humidity can make this "Average" difficulty ride much more challenging! Fear & Respect have always ridden side-by-side at Stagecoach. Ride 26-150 miles. Options include Solo, Tandem, and Team Chip-timed Time Trials. Trophies for Champions in the Men & Women Overall Solo & Team Time Trial. Riders may ride the Optional 150-Mile extended route, subject to time cut-offs.
New for 2019: Later roll times!
At STAGECOACH, it's always been all about PRIDE. With great Challenge, comes great Reward. WE INVITE YOU TO SADDLE UP & EARN YOUR SPURS!

Please continue riding safely and be especially attentive to all vehicular traffic. Road Rage is at an all-time high. Impatient drivers look for any excuse to behave foolishly around cyclists. We urge you to use a rear view clip-on mirror for enhanced road awareness. As always,
keep way to the right of the white line, ride 100% defensively. No single finger salutes, or any other form of push-back! Use front & rear flashing lights at all times (
Nite Rider makes many excellent models!)
to be seen day & night.
Always stay alert & expect the unexpected!
Tailwinds!
