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.
