THIS IS NOT A FVBSC EVENT, REGISTER DIRECTLY WITH THE MCHENRY COUNTY CENTURY RIDE ON LINK ABOVE
The 2021 McHenry County Century Ride is excited to re-introduce a 26-100+ mile bike ride through scenic McHenry County! This inaugural event will showcase the scenic and mainly flat roads of McHenry County. The route has distances for every level of rider. Based on the cloverleaf design for routes, riders choose their distance, double up on one loop, tackle all four loops...You customize your route. Enjoy four loops connected through one rest stop for a fantastic day of riding! We ride rain or shine.
Staging for the start and end of the ride will take place in Lake in the Hills (exact location TBD). The rest area, open from 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. is located in Union at Veteran's Park. We encourage you to join us for our post ride event which will feature a variety of local food trucks where you can purchase delicious food for refueling and recovery. Additionally there will be opportunities for photos and bragging rights of your bike stories.
Proceeds from this ride will benefit two local organizations with missions that benefit residents of McHenry County.
