About the Ride
The Tour de Fuzz (Tdf) has been described as a “one-of-a-kind” event and the “FUNNEST RIDE” in Northern California. Some tell us it’s the finish line party, all-you-can-eat BBQ, gourmet sides, unlimited local IPA beers and wine and bike expo. Others claim it’s our scenic wine country routes and full-service rest stops. While many riders simply enjoy the SAG (Support & Gear) vehicles with off-duty cop/cyclists and the police swag giveaways. Regardless of your reason(s), it has been your cycling support that makes it possible for Chaplains to serve our community. 100% of funds raised benefit the Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Service in Sonoma County (LECS)
The Tour de Fuzz includes three scenic wine country ride options; links below detail each route. Turn-by-turn printed directions and rest stop maps will be provided at rider check-in.
50k (35 miles); The “Enthusiast” is a cruise through stunning scenery and only 1,000 ft total ascent.
100k (62 miles); The “Roadie” is a magnificent ride with rolling hills – moderate climbs with 2,800 ft total ascent.
100 miles; The “Commando” is an epic ride with a challenging climbs (including an optional KOM/QOM challenge on Rockpile Road) – a total 6,800 ft ascension.
Just $89, $99, and $109, respectively. Entries include the infamous finish-line party, our all-you-can-eat BBQ, gourmet sides, unlimited IPA beer and Sonoma wines. Start and finish is at 50 Mark West Springs Road in Santa Rosa. Depending on your route, check in and start times begin from 6:30 am – 10:00 am with the BBQ after-party jumping in full gear from noon – 5:00 pm. There will be Friday night and Saturday early check-in times.
The Law Enforcement Chaplaincy Service in Sonoma County provides support to first responders, law enforcement, emergency personnel, their families and members of our community who find themselves in the midst of tragedy and loss. During this last tough year, our Chaplains responded 24/7/365 to suicides, Covid-19 deaths and homes lost to wildfires. Your support makes this possible.
