Aug 8, 2010 - Roanoke, VA

Join us for one of the most scenic rides in the area. This year’s routes will follow the famous and beautiful 76 TransAmerica Trail

All Routes follow the Historic 76 Bike route which is clearly marked. The Routes will travel towards Lexington which will be the turn around point for the Century. It will be a folded route –out and back. All 3 distances will follow the same route; turning around sooner at designated areas will shorten the distance.
