Davis Bike Club Presents

A 50 km, 100 km or 100 mile cycling event

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

The Davis Bike Club extends this invitation to ride and enjoy this year’s Foxy’s Fall Century. Often stated to be the ideal first century ride, it offers challenges, distances and scenery for riders of all levels. Well-marked routes guide you through the orchards of Solano County and the rolling hills of Napa County. Rest, water and lunch stops along the routes will keep you riding through the day. A delicious dinner awaits you at the start/finish. There will be a limit on pre-registered riders to ensure an amply supported ride for everyone. A special category to introduce families to cycling has been added this year. This 50 km family ride even has special pricing, so bring the kids.
The metric century is a good ride for most recreational cyclists and the Imperial Century (100 mile) ride offers a more challenging course with over 2000 feet of climbing (and descending).
.
This year, online registration ONLY with very limited (approximately 100) day of ride registrations.
A great way to spend a fall day on your bike! 

Registration Information

Pre-ride check-in:

Due to the lateness of daylight savings time this year, registration opens at 7:00 am; course opens at 7:30 am. Check-in takes place at the start/finish located at the Veteran's Memorial Center in Davis. Each rider will receive a route map and an identification wristband for access to the rest stops, sag support and dinner. Additional parking is available in the Davis High School Gymnasium lot on Oak Street.

Advanced registration is limited to 1,200 riders. Only 100 riders will be allowed to register on the day of the event.
REGISTER EARLY!

Rain or Shine: Foxy's Fall Century will take place rain or shine, and riders should be prepared for foul weather conditions. Cyclists should carry reliable tools, spare tubes, identification and money - just in case. Sag vehicles will be on the course during the ride to provide assistance and radio communication.
