The 2015 ride season was the first year for Trailnet’s Century Club. Riders that completed five centuries on Trailnet BFC and/or partner rides earned a Century Club patch and recognition on our website. Last year, ten riders pedaled through this daunting feat, one of whom completed nine out of the ten eligible centuries!

For 2016 we challenge our riders to more than double the size of the Century Club – be one of the riders who helps us reach our goal of 25 members! Eligible events include the Ride the Rivers Century, other BFC rides that include century options, or any of our partner fundraising events that include a century ride.

Eligible BFC rides:

Partner fundraising rides with century options:

It’s easy to “join” the club.  For each ride, the online registration page includes a check box to participate in the century. If you are riding for one of our partner fundraising rides, let them know you are participating in Trailnet’s Century Club.

As the season goes on, we will keep you updated on the list of riders pedaling their way to their 500 mile goal!

Thursday Night Women’s Road Ride

Dates: May 7 through August 27

Time: 6:00 p.m.

Features: This ride is for women only, and is intended for those who are new to road riding in general and especially those who are new to riding with traffic. It is a no-drop ride, so no one will end up riding alone! Carrie Cash Wootten will lead the group and will focus on fun and learning as the miles fly by! The Thursday evening ride is intended for road bikes, so hybrid and off-road bike riders may find their wider tires make it hard to keep up the pace of the road bikes. If you have any questions about your bike or the ride in general, please call Carrie at The Hub. Helmets are required. Routes are marked, and maps will be provided.

Routes: 15 miles

Terrain: Moderately hilly, a few big hills
