Gainesville Cycling Festival
Ride through the picturesque horse farms of northern Marion county.
The century will start at 8:30 am at the First Magnitude Brewery. Hundreds of charging cyclists will take to the streets. Expect cohesive packs in to the first rest stop in Flemington.
The rides proceed through the north Marion County horse farms, past miles of wooden fences surrounding manicured pastures, many with prancing thoroughbreds who will occasionally race you along the fence. Early riders may catch a jockey working out the next triple crown winner on one of the practice race tracks along the route.
Near the end of the ride, you’ll pass through Paynes Prairie State Park, crossing over the prairie, a wild expanse that hosts wild buffalos and horses.
Rides available: 100, (You can do a shorter 77/78 mile ride by leaving off one of the south loops.) , 54 RUSH miles.
Well stocked rest stops. The century uses two loops south from Flemington, where we will have snacks and sandwiches available.
