The Routes:

As in the past, we will offer three ride options.  NOTE:  Rest Stop and SAG support will end at 2:00PM.

The Metric Century—A 65 mile ride that takes cyclists all the way to the extreme southeast corner of Madison County at Uno.  Rest stops will be provided at Brightwood General Store (at 19 miles), Good Hope Baptist Church (at 33 or 43 miles), and Hoover Ridge near the town of Madison (at 51 miles).    Those choosing the metric century will leave at 8:30 a. m.

The Intermediate Route—This is a beautiful and challenging 45 mile route whose first half and final fifteen miles shares the metric century route.  It will feature rest stops at Brightwood General Store (at 19 miles) and Hoover Ridge near the town of Madison (at 31 miles).  There are no short cut options this year incorporated into the route plan.   Those choosing the intermediate route will leave at 8:45am.

The Family Ride—Ride as long as you want on the flat or gently rising roads around Syria.   A planned route featuring several out and backs totals 20 miles. These riders will leave at 9:00 am.
