One of the most fun, adventurous bicycle rides in Calaveras County returns in 2023 with all new choices of bicycle rides that start from Feeney Park in Murphys. You'll bicycle through the Northern California foothills and the Up-Country Sierra, often on newly paved roads, and return to Feeney Park for an after-ride celebration with a fabulous lunch by the chefs at Vida Buena Farms in Vallecito, California. This cycling event is great for road bikes and E-bikes.
Mr. Frog's Wild Bicycle Ride Returns! May 6, 2023
There is one thing you can count on, cycling in spring in Calaveras County is beautiful. The wild flowers are lovely, the redbuds are blooming and the weather is perfect for a bicycle ride in the mountains. With freshly paved California backroads, your cycling ride will be smooth (mostly), challenging, and fun.
The ride is a 10-year tradition and one of Feeney Parks biggest fundraisers. As always, we thank you! Your contributions support the park and we appreciate you for helping us literally keep the lights on this year.
Three bicycle rides • Three cycling challenges
Wild $75
55 miles • 6,080' elevation gain Give yourself 6-8 hours to finish this wild ride. Eight Category 5 hill climbs, one Category 4, and one Category 2 through gorgeous country.
42 miles • 4,600' elevation gain A challenging ride with seven category 5 hill climbs and one category 2, but 60-75 minutes shorter than the Wild ride. It offers best of new roadway pavement.
A new short ride! Sadly, the short ride on San Domingo Road has to be changed due to storm damage on the route that makes it unsafe. Starting a Feeney Park, cyclists on the short route will head out Six Mile Road then turn around and cycle back through Murphys. From Murphys they’ll descend Murphys Grade Road to French Gulch Road which will loop them back to Murphys and Feeney Park in time for lunch by chef Laura Lowell of Vida Buena Farms.
We'll have a new map up soon. Thanks for your patience.
We are waiting for more information on availability. But soon you'll be able to buy a souvenir when you register for Mr. Frog's Wild Ride and wear it while you cycle!
We want to thank our sponsors for supporting Feeney Park!
