Spring City Cycling Club hosts

40th annual All You Can Eat Century

 

Welcome road bikes, ebikes, tandems, recumbent bikes, trikes, mountain bikes, and trail bikes. The AYCE offers four routes ranging between 40 and 107 miles, with beautiful hill and valley scenery, as well as a few challenging climbs. The event provides participants with well-marked courses, stocked aid stations, great volunteer support, a nice SWAG bag and a post-ride hot locally catered feast with southern sides meal. 

 


New for 2024!


Revised Century route with 14 miles of new, spectacular road.

COOKIES!  At select rest stops, we have spectacular, homemade 'ground pounder' cookies from a Mennonite baker who uses her own hand-churned butter in the recipe. So good!



Tight Bark Hollow Road - Mile 67


...And, as always, the post-ride All You Can Eat Feast
