Can you conquer Cruella?

 "It's not called 'Cruella' for nothing".  Just as the name implies, cyclists will be put to the challenge as they ride over some of the highest and most scenic roads in the East Bay.  The cruelness of Cruella lies not in any one climb, but in the sum of all its parts - no climb alone is too great of challenge, but the timing and combination of the climbs unfailingly loads up in the legs, culminating with the final climb to the 'Double Junction' that bites through the muscle down to the bone.

Open to men and women, The Cruella Challenge offers plenty of climbing including Mt. Diablo, Pig Farm, the 3 Bears, Wildcat Canyon, Skyline and Pinehurst totaling approximately 4,000 ft of elevation gain for the Metric Century (62 miles) and approximately 8,500 ft for the Full Century (100 miles)!

All riders are rewarded with a well deserved BBQ at the finish, provided by Lawrence's Walnut Creek Meat Co.
