The Druid City Bicycle CLub and Habitat Tuscaloosa will host a century (and shorter ride) to support Habitat Housing in West Alabama. Our goal is to raise enough money to build one Habitat house.

Start is at the Vance Plant exit 89 off of I-20/59 towards Tuscaloosa. The plant is about 35 miles from Downtown Birmingham.
Full supported SAG and restops. This is an out and back with a Sprott option for a double metric. Ride starts in Tuscaloosa County and wanders through Bibb and Perry Counties.
Mileage is 104 (a little further than advertised - my bad). The route is challenging and hilly. There are a few steep climbs, but it is constantly rolling. It is not a sprinters course.
Also, DCBC offers the Scorpion Century series - at least one a month - cheap thrills and cost. Please check out our web site www.druidcity.org -

Chris Hinds Memorial Ride in Auburn-Opelika. Entry Requirement: A minimum of $35 in donations must be raised in order to participate(participant can donate).. All the proceeds after expenses go to the Storybook Farm, an institution for disabled children there in Opelika. Routes will be marked - 25 mil., 50 mil., 100K. Ride begins at 9:00am, and it is a good idea to arrive early to register.
Directions to Storybook Farm (where the ride begins and ends): Go on I-85 to exit 62. At the top of the exit ramp, go left and over the freeway. Be in the right-hand lane and take the second light, at which you will go right. Go about 4.5 miles (past a High School on your left and a Technical School on your right). There will be banners up marking the Farm, and I'm told everyone who lives near there knows where it is, in case you have to stop and ask. There will be SAG and a rest stop, and there is talk about a barbeque at the end of the ride.
