EVENT #3 of the 2022 Sangamon Cycling Series
Saturday, July 16, 2022
8:00 a.m.
Lake Sangchris - East Boat Dock
Important Update - Starting Location is Lake Sangchris
Event #3 was originally scheduled to depart from Stuart Park in Springfield. Due to some scheduling conflicts, the starting location will be Lake Sangchris - East Boat Dock. Event #4 in August will start at Stuart Park.
The East Boat Dock has a large parking area with restrooms, plenty of shade trees and access to some beautiful, low traffic roads. We think this venue will be a great spot to start the rides.
Start Time
Mass start at 8:00 AM.
We'll be set up at 6:45 AM. Those who are tackling the longer distances are welcome to start at 7:00 AM.
Courses
We're finalizing the routes but there will be four distances, each one looping back to the rest stop at Lake Sangchris. More information will follow once routes are finished.
Navigating the Routes
Our goal is to provide a safe and positive experience for all registered riders, and that means preventing anyone from taking a wrong turn and getting lost. It's been a challenge to recruit ride leaders this year but we continue to work toward finding riders willing to lead groups. Once routes have been firmed up, we'll provide links to GPS files that you may download. We will also offer the printed maps at the start. On the Friday prior to the ride, we plan to mark the two shorter distances with painted arrows at each turn.
Rest Stop Nutrition/Lunch
At the rest stop, we'll have water, Gatorade, bars and other snacks to help you fuel your ride. Stick around after you finish and refuel with walking tacos, courtesy of the SBC.
