The ride takes you through one of the most scenic areas of Vermont, provides beautiful views and a fun and challenging ride. Riders can choose from the 24 mile Adamant Loop course on paved and dirt roads, the 110k (68 mile) course or full 111 mile course.

111 Mile Ride: A loop that leaves from Montpelier with a police escort through town before heading east to East Montpelier, there you'll turn north to go through Hardwick to Barton where you'll heads west to Albany then south through Morrisville, passing by Lake Elmore before returning to Montpelier.

110k Ride (68 mile): A loop beginning in Montpelier with a police escort through town, then you'll head east through East Montpelier, turn north to Hardwick where you'll head west to Morrisville before heading south past Lake Elmore and returning to Montpelier.

24 Mile Ride:This loop leaves from Montpelier with a police escort through town before heading east to East Montpelier where you'll take Factory Street toward Adamant. The course turns on to dirt roads before arriving at the Adamant Coop for a food stop on the lawn, then back on your bike to take dirt roads to Horn of the Moon Road back to Route 12/Elm Street and return to the Pool.

All three courses are fully supported with food/beverage stops and a support vehicle throughout the day. All participants must wear a helmet and abide by the rules of the road. The OR Century Ride will be held "Rain or Shine" - registration fees cannot be refunded once you have registered.
