The Village at Big Bear Lake - When preparing to select your ride, remember you will be riding at between 7,000 – 8,500 feet of elevation! “The air is much thinner up here” is often heard by our visitors just walking around town! Avoid heatstroke, sunstroke, dehydration and even cardiac arrest by letting your body acclimate to the high elevation and do not push yourself too hard! A “normal ride distance” for you at sea level will be close to the equivalent of double that same distance at our high altitude and dry desert climate!! Those interested in riding THE CLIMB, but have not yet done so,we suggest you consider testing your skills first on the 70 mile stage to see how your body and fitness react. The Climb is very difficult century with over 25 miles of climbing at or above 7000’. Unless you are an extremely experienced century rider, this ride is NOT for you!
