The 3rd Annual GCBC 4-Spoke Century

The first 50 registered participants will receive a free Tri-Hard Sports water bottle!

There will be the option to do 25 miles, 50 miles, 75 miles, or the full 100 miles. It just depends on how many "spokes" aka out and backs you want to ride!

Friendly reminder: you have to be a RWGPS club member- which is free to do- to be able to see and save the confirmed routes! Please click this link and you will automatically be added:

Full 100 miler (you choose how much of it you do that day!): https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49761779

Online registration will remain open until 7am on ride day/approximately 30 minutes prior to the start time. It's important to note that same day registration will only be available in a paperless fashion. You'll be directed here to the RWGPS event and then to the corresponding Race Roster link to sign up, sign the liability waiver, and pay via PayPal or Venmo. Once you show us your phone so we can see you've completed it, we'll hand you your route profile sticker, meal voucher, and you'll be ready to roll! We appreciate your understanding.

Police traffic control and road markings/signage will both be present but limited, so all participants should download routes to their computers, plan to play the route from their RWGPS app on their phone, or carry printed turn-by-turn directions with them. For instructions on how to download routes to your Garmin, Wahoo, or other computer, see the Ride With GPS Help page at https://support.ridewithgps.com/hc/en-us/articles/4419007646235-Export-File-Formats and your computer’s documentation.

The route profile stickers/providing navigational cues we are including for all participants regardless of when they register will also be very helpful to have. They are designed to be placed physically on your bike's frame, so you can look down and know when the next turn is coming without having to change your positioning on the bike. **The route profile stickers have been confirmed for accuracy!

Blue Cliff Massage School will be there offering complimentary massages, and we will have Boondocks BBQ also as part of the post ride celebration!

**If you're willing to donate any of the following to the event or if you're willing to help out with some pre-ride day preparations, please let us know! Here are some ideas on what you can bring/donate to help us all to feel great out there, in addition to what we'll already have out there at the rest stops for everyone:

~ additional gels, SaltStick chews, and protein bars to add to what we'll have at the stocked rest stops

~ bananas cut up and placed in containers

~ raisins/granola

~ Tailwind or other electrolyte replacement drink mixes for us to use for this or future major club events

We will have:

~ almond butter and honey sandwiches

~ orange slices

~ hand towels socked in ice water and lemon to cool us off

~ pickles and pickle juice

~ big coolers with ice water to supplement the actual water bottles

~ Chargel gels and other snacks as usual

We will have the one rest stop at Success Civic Center where we start and finish which we'll all be coming back to up to 3 times if you're doing the full 100 miler! Much easier to manage on this one!
