Click on one of the links below to see the route:

2012 FAMILY RIDE

2012 FORTY MILE RIDE

2012 METRIC CENTURY

If you have a smartphone, you can download the MapMyRide app here, and have the routes sent to your smartphone.

A note about the Family Ride:  The Family Ride can be as short or as long as you want and is on flat or gently rising and falling roads around the starting point in Syria.  Family Riders can begin by accompanying the 40 mile and metric century riders down to Banco, before turning around and heading back toward Syria. Then riders have the option of going up Quaker Run Rd. as far as they’d like and turning around, or going up Bohannan Rd. to Weakley Hollow Rd and up as far toward the White Oak Canyon parking lot as they want before turning around.
