Join The Ride!

The Hagerstown 100 follows most of the route of the Cumberland Century, but with some modifications to allow for food stops at a few stores along the way vice the CC's planned rest areas. 

The ride is 100 miles, 4500 feet of climbing with the purpose of trying to get some elevation in before the Culpepper 100 in October. The ride starts with the big climb of the day to get it out of the way - a 1.4 mile 300 foot climb. It then heads through the Antietam National Battlefield, and then meanders along the Potomac through the towns of Mercersville, Williamsport, and Pinesburg. After the 70 mile cut-off, the ride then heads north for a lengthy upward grind that looks like the Sudley's from fairhaven to SHS. The reward is the Misty Mountain Creamery - all ice cream made on site (and they sell farm animal toys too). Have a triple scoop of the apple strudel or pumpkin pie ice cream, because the climbing is almost done.  The last 5 miles is all downhill through South Mountain State Park and Greenbrier State Park. 

Eat up at the ABC picnic for the energy to do this ride! If you end up not having enough energy, there is a shortcut to the car at mile 71 that cuts the ride to 73 miles. Start is at the Greenbrier Elementary School 21222 San Mar Rd, Boonsboro, MD 21713

Ride leader is Chris Higgins.
