We recommend signing up with some friends. This is the best way to ensure you commit to training and event participation. You shouldn't ride your first century alone. When you ride with friends or Team MFC, you're going to have a good time no matter what happens.
Here are the MFC featured events:
The Mohawk Valley Metric Century on May 11th, 2019 in Eugene Oregon. This is a wonderful charity event supporting the Oregon Supported Living Program brought to you by the Eugene Velo Cycling Club. The Mohawk is a metric century (100 kilometers). That's 62 miles for our non-metric loving friends. This is a great starter ride for beginning cyclists and the perfect event if you started your training late.
The Strawberry Century on June 8th, 2019 in Lebanon Oregon. This event was rated the #1 ride in Oregon 2018! This is a non-profit ride brought to you by the Santiam Spokes Bicycle Club. The Spokes are offering a discount on entry fees for all MFC participants. The Strawberry Century's beauty is unmatched. This ride also has fantastic rider support and many route options. The best part is the free strawberry shortcake dessert for all finishers.
The Swift Summit 200/100 on August 10th, 2019 in Lebanon Oregon. This Gran Fondo style ride is the most challenging. Enjoy the beauty of the Cascade Mountain Range and ride alongside the swift Santiam and Calapooia Rivers. Ride or race, 100 miles or 200 miles, it is your choice. You will be timed! This ride requires more self-sufficiency, some gravel riding, and offers 4000+ feet of climbing. If you are an experienced cyclist or a rider looking to truly challenge yourself, this is the ride for you.
