Registration:

Registration opens Midnight, March 15, 2012.

Sub-5 Century riders must register by August 31, 2012. There is no deadline for Recreational Rider registrations. When registering select one of the following ride options:

  1. Sub-5 Century Ride (timed ride with fast-service feed zone & limited to 252 riders)
  2. Recreational Ride (25/50/75 – mile ride with full-service rest stop)

After choosing from one of the two options above, please indicate your “Time Goal” for the ride. As a guide the time-goal selection box also gives the average speed one needs to maintain in order to complete the century within each time window. The speed estimate allows for a total of 12 minutes in the feed zone. When registering as an individual leave the team name blank and you will be grouped with other riders of a similar pace. Those registering as a member of a team should enter their team name and use the same Time Goal. At least one member of the team should check the box to identify themselves as the team captain. Team registration ensures that all members of a team will be assigned to the same ride group. Note: Ride groups may be assigned a combination of both team members and individual riders.
