Additional Information

All rides start rain or shine at STC. All routes are on smooth, fast black top or mild shake & bake (small portion). There may also be short portions with shadow line (white line) rumble treatment. The lightly traveled quiet country roads on gently rolling terrain make this a great choice for novices and for those attempting their first century or Double-Metric. All riders registered by April 17 get a high quality commemorative T-shirt. Picturesque farms and small towns will keep you spinning with a smile at the beauty around you. The rest stops (located from 8 to 21 miles apart) offer plenty of fruit, cookies, snacks, sports drinks, and water, all provided with a smile by local volunteers striving to host the friendliest rest stop on the ride. The cookout at the end will again feature those delicious Vidalia onion burgers and veggie burgers.
