Join us this year as we take out on some of our favorite bicycle friendly roads. The Date is April 1st, the departure time for the Century is 1:00pm , and 1:15 pm for the 33 miler. We'll be leaving from Station Camp High School>>> We will have well supplied rest stops to help with hunger and exhaustion. For directions we'll have maps, a well marked course, and a sweep mechanic monitoring the rest stops. And of course, we'll have food and beverages at the finish.
The Spring Forward Tour is a Ride for Awareness and Good Fellowship. With respect for our routes, fellow riders, and shared users (automobiles), it's our goal to refresh or expand everyone's cycling knowledge. Great information is available from the League of American Wheelmen on How you can ride better. There you will find many quick links to key problems and issues for all levels of cycling. Please review the links.

Time Expectancies: We start at 1:00pm for a couple of reasons. One its after church. Two, its warmer. During at least one past Spring Forward we have had high winds, 30 degree temperatures and sleet. This year, it promises to be Sunny, 70, and no wind (hopefully). Riders must finish the 62 miler before 6:00pm. Any later and the truck will pick you up. Our rest stops will shut down based on a 13mph avg. If you ride below 13mph we suggest you do the 32 miler.
