Covington Century

Important Notes: 1) You must register/pay at event web site HERE IN ADDITION to registering for the AOC event.   Money is not collected by the AOC nor the Trip Leader and there are no refunds.   2) We'll meet as a group prior to the ride start,  then ride as a group until at least the 1st rest stop.  You may also start independently if you prefer. 3) Cost is $55 through July 20, then $65 through day of ride.   It's recommended that you pay in advance due to the popularity of the ride.   

Come ride with us on these mostly flat to slightly rolling hills.   This ride is sponsored by the Southern Bicycle League and supports their cycling advocacy programs. 

Distances available of 32, 67 or 100 miles, with the route including southside roads including Jersey, Rutledge and Mansfield, overlapping part of the BRAG riding routes.  The group will be encouraged to ride the maximum distance they're confortable with, with encouragement and support from others. There are rest stops every 15 miles with a great buffet meal at the end (with beer!).

The 67 and 100 mile routes will split after the 1st rest stop at mile 19.  The 32 mile route is entirely separate from the other routes.  The ride cue sheets can be found on the event site link above under Ride Routes.

Registration opens at 7:00am on ridee day. We'll gather at 7:30 at a designated location and strategize who's riding what distance. Look for me with my bright green jersey and blue handlebars.  

You can park anywhere on campus.  I copied a map of the campus that shows location of ride start and dining hall HERE 

Price includes T-shirt, food, rest stops, full support along the route and entertainment.  Register early and save!!  There are no refunds.  Money is not collected by the AOC nor the Trip Leader and there are no refunds
