Bike Around the Buttes 30th year

Bike around the Buttes was started in 1984 by a man named Leroy Ervin, a type 1 diabetic. 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.

Today’s ride consists of three courses around the Sutter Buttes. There is a 17.5 mile course, a 40 mile course, and a 100 mile course. The ride comes with rest stops along the way, support and gear vehicles in case of emergency, and it also includes a BBQ lunch and live music after the ride.

The event takes place on April 18, 2015, registration has been open since January 1, 2015.

"We are proud to be celebrating our 30th year in 2015, and all of our proceeds still
go to directly benefit diabetics in our community," said Jolena Strawmier, Office Assistant
