All rides start at Gavilan College, on Santa Teresa Blvd. just south of Gilroy, about 35 miles south of San Jose. If you are heading south on Highway 101 from Gilroy, turn right on Castro Valley Rd. and right on Santa Teresa Blvd. to the north entrance of Gavilan College. Look for a sign to Gavilan on Hwy. 101 just south of the Monterey Rd.exit. If you are approaching Gilroy from the south, you will not be able to turn left from northbound 101 onto Castro Valley Rd. due to the median barrier. Continue north to the Monterey Rd. exit where you can loop under 101 and head back south to Castro Valley Rd.

Riders must start and finish during this interval to insure that they receive the fine quality of food and support that is a Tierra Bella tradition. Rest stop cutoff times will be strictly enforced.
