ABOUT THE RIDE
All routes start and finish at the Sherman Athletic Club, where you will head out on the Heritage Route 66 Multiuse Trail. All routes venture out into the surrounding country on low-trafficked roads.
NEW ROUTES FOR 2025
After two years of heading north, riders will head east and make their way to the Richardson Clubhouse near the town of Buffalo Hart, which will serve as the main rest stop. 20-mile riders will then return to Sherman, and 40-, 62- and 100-mile riders can select from several looped routes that will return to the rest stop. Routes will be marked and GPS files will be provided closer to the event.
POST RIDE
Celebrate the completion of your ride with a post-ride meal. All registered riders receive a meal ticket and one beverage (choice of wine, beer or soda) from the bar at the Sherman Athletic Club.
TIMING
The Capital City Century is not a race, but all riders will be timed. All timing ends at 3PM.
MECHANICAL SUPPORT
Local bike mechanics will be available at the Sherman Athletic Club before the ride, as well as at one of the rest stops to assist with minor mechanical issues.
