Experience the beauty of central Delaware's rolling farmland during the 35-mile, 65-mile, or 100-mile rides on Saturday, August 8, 2025. Starting and finishing at Middletown High School, this event offers scenic routes that take you through picturesque landscapes, from gently undulating fields to tranquil countryside paths. The 100-mile route is particularly notable for its journey southward via lesser-traveled roads, connecting charming small towns like Clayton and Hartly before looping back. The terrain is primarily flat with just a gentle elevation change, making it an ideal challenge for both seasoned cyclists and those looking to push their limits on a century ride. Participants will benefit from marked routes using arrows, ensuring clear direction throughout the event. Support & Gear (SAG) vehicles will be available until 5:00 pm, providing assistance along the way. Regularly spaced rest stops ensure that riders can refuel with food and drinks every few miles, particularly on the longer Century route which includes five designated stops. Middletown High School serves as both the starting point for registration from 7:00 am to 9:00 am and the finish line. Cyclists must pass through check-in to receive wristbands that grant access to rest stop facilities. Early registration offers a chance to secure your spot at more favorable rates, with options available until July 15, 2026. For those unable to register early or on event day, late registrations are also accepted but come with increased costs. BikeReg.com handles all online sign-ups; instructions for same-day registration can be found posted near the start line and on a trailer at check-in. Event organizers encourage riders to plan ahead by downloading GPS files via an email link provided by WCBC before Thursday afternoon of event week, ensuring accurate navigation throughout your ride. With its focus on providing a welcoming atmosphere for all skill levels, this event promises an unforgettable cycling adventure through Delaware's serene countryside.
