Back Roads Century 2016
REGISTRATION EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 12th!
The Back Roads Century is one of the premier cycling events in the mid-Atlantic region. Each fall, Potomac Pedalers invites cycling enthusiasts of all ages and abilities for a great weekend of riding and fun.
The Back Roads Century features multiple distances, five separate routes, up to a full 100-mile ride. Every distance is a fully-supported ride with route directions/cue sheets, plenty of rest stops with delicious food and drinks – including our famous tomato sandwiches – as well as mechanical and first aid support during your ride. For the first time, this year’s cue sheets will note historical and habitat information at different points along the routes.
The Back Roads Century isn’t just a ride, it’s a weekend event! Back for a second year in beautiful Shepherdstown, West Virginia, you can choose from a host of activities on Saturday, the day before the main event. Come early and explore this quaint yet vibrant town – not only will Potomac Pedalers be hosting Saturday rides, but Shepherdstown offers an abundance of fun non-riding activities! Go kyaking, take in a football game, see the stars, or maybe some ghosts, go wine tasting, or get your Octoberfest on! Whatever you choose to do, you’ll experience Shepherdstown’s warm and welcoming atmosphere. Located just across the bridge from the Antietam Battlefield, history buffs and regular travelers alike will find Shepherdstown’s historical allure a perfect complement to the charm and variety readily abundant at every turn in town.
The Back Roads Century begins at Shepherd University and many routes will follow parts of the Potomac River, with rolling hills taking you past apple orchards and lush farmlands.
After Sunday’s ride, join us for our “End of Ride Celebration” at Bellevue Manor, a historic venue with great views overlooking the Potomac. The event will feature amazing food prepared by local restaurants, as well as live entertainment that will have you up on your feet even after riding for hours.
REGISTER BY MIDNIGHT, Monday, September 12th!
