Door County Century

"Since its inception in 1980, the Door County Century has fast become one of the most popular rides in Wisconsin with an average of 2,000 participants each year. The ride is a recreational and social tour scheduled in early September -- a time when the crowds of summer have departed and the rush of the Fall color season has not yet begun.

The Door County Century has moved. This year's ride, September 12, 2010 will start and finish at the Door County Fairgrounds just north of Sturgeon Bay. This year's ride will feature a Finish Line Celebration with food, music and hearty "job well done" to all riders.

Door County is a bike pedaler's paradise. Scenic backroads blanket a peninsula with over 300 miles of shoreline and an endless array of gift shops, restaurants and lodging options.

Three routes of varying lengths provide options for cyclists of all ability levels. Routes of 30 miles, 50 miles, 70 miles and 100 miles (Century) bring the riders progressively further up the peninsula. Rest stops spaced along the route will provide food, refreshments and rest room facilities along with unforgettable views. All routes start and end at Door County Fairgrounds on the north side of Sturgeon Bay.

Experience the scenic beauty of Door County from the unfettered vantage point of a bicycle."
