There are optional Horrendous Hills. This means that if you want to try some steep climbing, there will be be markings on the road to take you to these climbs and then back to the main route. In past years, if you did all the 5 special climbs, you got a special gift. The 10-25 and 50 mile routes start near the rim of the Cuyahoga Valley Park and meanders through parks, valleys, affluent residential areas and farmland. While the 10 mile route is fairly flat, the 25 mile has rolling hills.
Lunches are available to non-rides as well.
This tour is a favorite and well attended by all the local cycling clubs. This is the 31st year the ride will be held and is considered to be one of the Classic Centuries in the area. Historically and from the late 1970 s, this ride was the largest single-day Century in Amercia. The Hancock Handlebars club are the organizing club and will continue to provide a very well organized tour. The weather is early September with highs in the 70 s and lows in the 50 s.
