Day of Ride
7-8 AM
Please look for the Springfield Bicycle Club table set up near the tennis courts/restrooms and check in, indicating what distance you are planning to ride that day. You're welcome to change the distance if you'd like to try a shorter or longer route, we just need a rough idea to help our SAG drivers.
T-Shirts are in! If you registered pror to May 1, there should be a shirt for you which you may pick up at check-in time.
8:00 AM
The ride starts. All routes will head up Park to Spruce Street for an easy warmup before heading out into the country. We will have an aid station set up at Union Park in Auburn where you may get water/Gatorade and snacks. The longer distances will pass by c-stores in Virden and Girard.
