The Party Pardee is a fun ride through the rolling foothills of Amador and Calaveras Counties near the gold rush town of Ione. Each year we choose a new theme and this year it’s "Come on a Safari with the Sacramento Bike Hikers!" 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. Rest Stops along the route will keep you well stocked with an abundance of food and drink. SAG vehicles will be there to help you along the course. The ride fees include SAG support, rest stops, road markings, a map, meal at the end of the ride and live entertainment. Both rides provide a great tune-up for the upcoming century season. Those with energy left after the ride can dance the afternoon away.

It’s Party Pardee time again!
