7th Annual Ashford Metric Century +

Nerac Earth, a nonprofit cycling club located in Tolland, CT., is pleased to invite everyone to come out and participate in the 7th annual Ashford Metric Century+, a fund-raising bicycle ride event to be held on Sunday, September 28th, 2014. The 10, 25, 62 and 100 mile routes travel through the “quiet corner” of northeastern Connecticut and surrounding areas in Massachusetts for the longer rides. The back country roads, stunning fall foliage and cool weather conditions make this a classic New England bicycle ride.

All routes are fully supported and there are multiple rest stops stocked with food, drinks and water. In addition, all pre-registered riders will receive an Ashford Metric Century+ t-shirt and after the ride, we will be serving baked potatoes with all the fixings and homemade apple crisp with ice cream.

The ride starts at the Ashford Elementary School on Route 89 in Ashford(see http://ashfordmetriccentury.wordpress.com/ for detailed directions).

Date: Sunday – September 28, 2014 (This is a rain or shine event.)

Registration: 7:00-9:30 AM

Start Times: 100 mile 7:30 AM

65 mile 9:00 AM

25 mile 9:30 AM
