"See that speck in the distance They say that's why you're here The spin, the drive, the grind - All of it To chase that But look around … we don't need a finish line It's not about being done with it It's about doing it Why this road? Because it's here Why this time? Because it's now Pursue the thrill Pursue the journey As though it never ends Wherever it may take you" Watch the The Pursuit Video Dream of your next Double Century Sunrise!!

We do our best to not have any Double Centuries in the series on the same day. We are fully aware that date conflicts are not good for either event reducing the number of riders and the number of volunteers available for both events. Each of the California Triple Crown Double Centuries is a Major Adventure in itself!! A BIG Thanks to the Ride Organizers of each of these Double Centuries. Please thank them for the many hours they work to organize these incredibly complicated events. Over the years, we have spoken to many cyclists who picked a difficult Double Century as their first. In many cases, they weren't able to complete it because of mechanical, biomechanical, or mental challenges. We are convinced that these cyclists could have completed one of the flatter Doubles with a great sense of accomplishment. They could have found that riding Doubles is challenging but also fun!! Not a single one of these rides is easy. Each will provide you with a "Personal Growth Experience". Don't make the mistake of moving into the tougher Doubles until you're ready - mechanically, biomechanically, and mentally!! Once you're well prepared, the California Triple Crown Double Century series has plenty of challenges for you. When you have successfully complete three of the above Doubles, you are a Triple Crown Winner. You have earned the right to buy lots of cool products as shown at http://www.caltriplecrown.com/products.htm Bicycling publications and club newsletter editors receive your name for print. Your name is included on the California Triple Crown web sites at http://www.CalTripleCrown.com and http://www.CalTripleCrown.org You become part of a group of select Bicyclists and have the tremendous satisfaction of completing one of the most difficult Bicycling events anywhere!! The California Triple Crown is a small, completely volunteer organization established to publish the schedule and the results of these rides. In order to receive California Triple Crown Credit for completing one of these Double Centuries, you must be on the Official Finisher's list for the 200 Miles as published by the Ride Organizer. Please be sure that the exact spelling of your First and Last Name is the same when you register for the California Triple Crown and when you register for each of the Double Centuries because we post the results of the Double Centuries to the California Triple Crown records based on your First and Last Name. Hugh Murphy, the organizer of the Southern Inyo and Southern Inyo by Moonlight Doubles, wrote: "Early Bird registration for the spring Southern Inyo Double Century and summer Southern Inyo by Moonlight Double Century opens today. The savings are huge along with an option to bundle both rides. For ride and registration details go to www.InyoUltra.com Any rider that uses the spring Southern Inyo Double as their first ever Double, upon completion will get an additional discount of $25.00 off the entry price of the summer Southern Inyo by Moonlight Double Century. The discount will be off the price the Southern Inyo by Moonlight Double was on the day you registered for the spring Double. Or first time double riders can deduct $25.00 from the bundle price. Any current CTC riders that recruit a new rider can also deduct $25.00 from the bundle price. The new rider must mention the recruiters name at time of registration for both to get the discount." We believe this new pricing policy by Hugh to encourage new Double Century riders is the first time an organizer has implemented such a policy. Please spread the word!! Anny Beck, the organizer of the Joshua Tree, Borrego, and Oceanside Doubles wrote: “New dinner options at Joshua Tree, reflective ankle bands, bumper stickers, high-tech vitamin & mineral complex, PRODOVITE, and a 2018 Calendar with photos of riders are available. For all of the details, please go to www.MtnHighCycling.com“ Dzung Dang, the organizer of the Carmel Valley Double, wrote: "For this year, the Carmel Valley Double will start and finish in King City to avoid extreme high heat during midday. Also, lodging is more reasonably priced in King City. For camping enthusiasts we have tent and RV camping at the start / finish location - Salinas Valley Fairgrounds. Now that Highway 1 is open with the newly constructed Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge we will have the original loop course with two scenic climbs: Carmel Valley Rd. in the morning, and Nacimiento-Fergusson Rd. in the afternoon. Lunch will be served along the coast in Big Sur at mile 103. The updated ride description is HERE" The California Triple Crown records one ride credit and/or one volunteer credit to each event based on the results posted by the Ride Organizers. If you want these rides to continue, please bring your friends and families along and ask the ride organizer how they can help make the ride a success!! If you want these rides to improve, volunteer and do your part to make them better!! Accept The Challenge: Be A California Triple Crown Winner!! |
