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 pasta 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).
.
Registration for the 2008 Foxy's Fall Century is being handled by Bazu Media and is ONLINE only. As with past years, preregistration is capped at 1200 riders with 100 day of the ride registrations available on a first come, first served basis.

Early registration is $40 and AFTER Sept 17th, registration will be $50.

Day of registration on Saturday Oct 18th is $60, so please save yourself
some money and register early.

Foxy's Fall Century sponsored by the Davis Bike Club, a great way to spend a Fall day on your bike.
