Bike Around the Buttes

Bike Around the Buttes

April 13, 2024
Don’t miss this extraordinary ride that takes you from Sutter on the old stage coach route along the Sacramento River and circles Sutter Buttes. The Worlds Smallest Mountain Range.

Bike Around the Buttes started in 1985 by a man named Leroy Ervin, who had type 2 diabetes. The original ride was from Yuba City to the Redding/Red Bluff area, but it was quickly deemed to be too long and intense for the average rider. We are keeping the ride active and local! Todayโ€™s ride consists of four courses around the Sutter Buttes. We have a 20, 40, 65, and a 100 mile course. Our ride comes with rest stops along the way, support and gear vehicles in case of emergency, and includes a lunch and live music after the ride.ย  All proceeds stay locally andย  benefit people who live with diabetes in our community.
