How long does it take to ride the River Ride?
Century ride – Experienced riders will complete the route in 5 or 6 hours, those attempting a century for the first time can expect to take longer. SAG vehicles will be available so it will be easy to “bail out” if you find you can’t complete the entire 100 miles. Course opens at 7 AM and support will closed completely at 5 PM, so all riders need to be done in under 9 hours. Rest stops close progressively, as follows: Long Beach closes at 2pm Ralph Dills Park in Paramount closes at 3pm Family pit stop closes at 4pm Start/finish closes at 5pm Directional signage will be taken down following the above times. If you are still riding past closing, then you are on your own – released from the event, riding on your own in public right-of-ways with no event support. 70 Mile – Experienced riders will complete the route in less than 4 hours. The rest of us can expect to be riding for 4-7 hours. 50 Mile – About the same as the 70 Mile Ride, including if you decide to use the Blue and Red line tr
