STILL WONDERING IF YOU SHOULD REGISTER FOR THE CCC?
Maybe this is the little push you needed… 👀

Our friends at Wheel Fast Bicycle Company have donated a Garmin Edge 850 to give away—and EVERY registered rider is automatically entered to win! 🎉🚴

The Edge 850 ($600 value) has a bright color touchscreen, bike-specific navigation, performance and training features, smart fueling alerts, GroupRide features, an integrated bike bell and plenty of technology to provide hard evidence that yes, that hill really WAS awful. 😂

Basically, it does everything except pedal the bike for you.

Register. Ride. Maybe go home with a brand-new Garmin Edge 850.

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: InMotion Wellness Studio

We have all experienced that graceful little walk after getting off the bike after a long ride? Yeah… InMotion Wellness Studio can help with that.

InMotion specializes in one-on-one assisted stretching to improve flexibility and mobility, reduce tightness, and help you move and recover better.

Cyclist? Runner? Golfer? Desk sitter? Or just someone who makes noises when standing up? They’ve got you.

Even better — InMotion will be ON SITE at the Capital City Century! So after you cross that finish line and your legs start questioning every decision you’ve ever made, be sure to stop by and see them.

A huge THANK YOU to InMotion Wellness Studio for supporting the Springfield Bicycle Club and the 2026 Capital City Century!

Because apparently, “I’ll stretch later” is not an actual recovery plan.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This information will also be in your rider guide that will be sent out soon.

🚴 CCC ROUTES ARE LIVE! 🛣️

https://ridewithgps.com/events/485571-capital-city-century

The 2026 Capital City Century routes are ready! Before ride day, download your mileage route(s) in Ride with GPS.

🚴 THREE WAYS TO NAVIGATE YOUR CCC RIDE

We’ve created three Ride with GPS options so you can choose what works best for you:

OPTION 1: ONE CONTINUOUS ROUTE 📱
Best for riders who are comfortable using Ride with GPS as their primary navigation and know the distance they plan to ride.

Download ONE file for your distance:
20 | 44 | 66 | 100 miles

Hit start and Ride with GPS will guide you through your entire ride from Sherman and back. 20 mile riders will have a mini aid station at mile 6.4, The 44, 66 and 100 mile riders will be passing through the Elkhart aid station several times during your ride to rehydrate and refuel.

OPTION 2: INDIVIDUAL LOOPS 🔄
Best for riders who want more flexibility during the ride.

Download the Start, individual mileage loops and appropriate Finish route. This allows you to decide as you go how many loops you want to complete.

Planning 66 but realize after the Green Start + Blue Loop 1 that you’ve had enough? No problem. Skip the yellow loop, pick up the 44/66 green finish route and head back to Sherman.

This option lets you adjust your mileage based on how you’re feeling that day.

OPTION 3: NO RIDE WITH GPS
Don't worry - we have you covered there too. Each loop will be marked both with upright signs and road markings.

🟢 No matter which option you choose, everyone starts on GREEN and the colored road markings will help guide you along the way.

⚠️ WAIT TO DOWNLOAD! We strongly recommend downloading your routes the day before the CCC. Our route crew will be checking for gravel, construction, road closures and other issues that may require last-minute route changes.

Choose your distance—or choose your adventure. We’ll get you back to Sherman. 🚴

And keep an eye out for the Route 66 Points of Interest we’ve added along the way. 🛣️📸

🚴 **CCC VOLUNTEERS WANTED: Pick Your Adventure!** 🚴

The **Springfield Bicycle Club’s Capital City Century** is almost here, and we need a few more awesome humans to help us pull off the big day!

No cycling required. Some jobs involve snacks.
One involves bacon. Choose wisely. 😂

🚦 **COURSE MARSHAL – SHERMAN**
Your mission: Stand at a key turn and make sure riders actually turn onto the trail instead of continuing on to… wherever their questionable sense of direction takes them.
👉 Point. Wave. Cheer. Save cyclists from themselves.

🚗 **PARKING ATTENDANT – SHERMAN**
You get to tell people where to park — and for once, they’re *supposed* to listen to you.
👉 Direct cars. Keep things organized. Feel powerful.

🥨 **REST STOP ATTENDANTS both AM & PM**
You will automatically become one of the most popular people at the CCC because **YOU HAVE THE SNACKS.**

But the **AM crew?** Absolute legends.
🥓 BACON.
🥞 PANCAKES.
🚴 Hungry cyclists.

You won’t just be popular. You may be worshipped.

Whether you can give us a few hours in the morning, afternoon, or just want an excuse to cook bacon for a bunch of hungry cyclists, **WE NEED YOU!**

The Capital City Century doesn’t happen without volunteers. ❤️

🚴 **Help people ride the legacy, celebrate the journey and apparently… cook the bacon.** 🥓
