First of all, thank you so much for signing up for this year's Series! Whether you're a returning rider or new to the program, welcome and we're glad you're here! Hopefully this will be a great summer of riding for you. The Sangamon Cycling Series is a great way to meet other riders at your level and form a group of cycling friends. 

 

The first event will be held at Sherman Village Park, at the east pavilion. The address is:

 

Sherman Village Park
1200 Rail Fence Drive
Sherman, IL 62684

Please look for the Springfield Bicycle Club table set up at the pavilion 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 driver. 

 

The ride starts. All routes will cross South Sherman Blvd/55 and take riders to the new Sherman/Williamsville Bike Trail. A rest stop with water, Gatorade and various snacks/bars will be set up at the Samuel H. Jones Park in Williamsville, and all routes will stop by this at least once, depending on the distance, before returning to the park in Sherman.

 

We're finalizing the routes and will be checking them over the next few days to make sure there are no issues with road closures, gravel, etc., after which we'll release RidewithGPS files.  You can download those if you like to use GPS navigation. We'll also provide PDF maps that can downloaded and printed if you prefer to navigate that way.  

 

We're working on getting some ride leaders and will update you as that evolves.

 

If you registered prior to May 1, 11:59 PM, your registration includes a t-shirt. The order for t-shirts has been placed and we've got our fingers crossed that we'll have the shirts back in time to distribute them at the first event. If not, we will let you know where you may pick up your shirts, or you can wait until the second event in June to get your shirt.
