Event Description

Mr. Frog’s Wild Ride Returns!
Saturday, May 6, 2023


Challenge yourself in the Sierra Nevada Foothills with three rides through Calaveras County Up-Country and the Foothills.

Stunning scenery, challenging hill climbs and exhilarating downhill sections make this ride special. Plus, many sections are newly paved, so you’ll experience smooth cycling. You'll get SAG support from local bike shops, rest stops with snacks along the way, and traffic controls.

At the end of the ride, you'll be treated to an after-ride party with a fabulous lunch by Laura and Rick Lovell from Vida Buena Farm, live music, and local wine and beer for purchase. There’s a local flavor to Mr. Frog’s Ride that can’t be duplicated!

The Cause


The ride starts and ends at Feeney Park, a treasured community facility that provides athletic fields for local youth sports, an amphitheater, a skate park, a disc-golf course, and walking trails. The park is a unifying force in the region; countless volunteer hours, donations, and good old-fashioned hard work have built it into a valued community treasure. 100% of the profits from registration plus your donations will go toward maintaining this important space.

Please support our local community!
