CYCLISTS:

The 10-MILE FAMILY ROUTE is escorted by motorcyclists with traffic controlled at critical intersections. The ride will leave at 10 a.m. sharp, with no late starters permitted. Children under the age of eight (8) must ride on a Tandem or Trail Along bike, or in a trailer, with an adult over 18 years of age.

The 25- and 50-MILE ROUTES traverse near the rim of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and meander through parks, valleys, splendid residential areas and farmland. The 50-MILE ROUTE has more challenging hills. By popular demand, the optional add-on hills are returning for the 'lean and mean'. Take a selfie for proof to win a prize.

Our 100-MILE CENTURY ROUTE is known for its "challenge" and great SAG support. Enjoy the diverse scenery, all on-road. Your Subway lunch will be waiting at a stop along the way (from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.). At the end of your journey, feast on a chicken and pasta dinner with corn-on-the-cob (from 3 to 5 p.m.) on the patio of the Taverne of Richfield. You earned this mouth-watering dinner. Early returners may choose instead to eat the picnic lunch until 2:00 p.m. Your choice!

SAG/MEDICAL SUPPORT: Medical support will be provided at all water stops. SAG vehicles will support all routes.

SNACK/WATER STOPS supplied by Richfield Giant Eagle will keep you hydrated: four stops on the 100-mile route, three on the 50 and one on the 25- and 10-mile routes.
