About
The Delta Century is canceled for 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Stockton Bicycle Club did not have adequate time to prepare for this year's event. We have the
added complexity of having to obtain permits in four different counties, each with their own
restrictions. San Joaquin County remains in an elevated restrictive tier. Yolo county has not allowed bicycle events.
Our Bicycle Club is discussing the possibility of having an informal, free, unsupported
ride on the Delta Century routes in early May on our ride schedule. This would be for experienced cyclists
who are comfortable riding long distances self-supported.
We hope to have this event next year 2022, with everyone safe, still riding and enjoying the healthy lifestyle of bicycling. Thank you for your consideration during these difficult times.
Please check back in early 2022 for updates.
The current preliminary planned routes are available here at Ride with GPS. Please note the routes may be subject to change due to road, bridge or ferry closures or safety issues. Check back just before the ride, and the day of the ride consult the route sheet and course markings.
Routes
The Delta Century includes three routes, a 100 mile, 62 mile, and a 25 mile route. There are no hills, and the only climbing is for bridges and levees. This makes for an ideal first century or organized ride. Traffic is very light, and there are no traffic signals.
The Quarter Century ($35): 26 miles of vineyards with a fully stocked rest stop midway.
The Metric Century ($55): A delightful 62 mile loop of vineyards, levee roads, rivers and sloughs, and a ride on the J-Mack Ferry!
The Full Century ($55): 100 of the flattest miles around. The same loop as the Metric (including a ride on the J-Mack Ferry) with an added loop to the north.
The current preliminary planned routes are available here at Ride with GPS. Please note the routes may be subject to change due to road, bridge or ferry closures or safety issues. Check back just before the ride, and the day of the ride consult the route sheet and course markings.
