We’re joining kolo tc (with an optional OMP loop after) this week.
From Cody:
“7am start from Darrow Park.
66 miles of County fun It’s SNOT a race. It’s SNOT.
Plan on 20 on the flats, grupetto mentality on the climbs.

PATRICK HISTORY
In 2017, Patrick rode back to back 100 mile days in Northern Michigan as a fundraiser for El Grupo Norte (watch him finish up his second day). Patrick’s Heavy Ride was born. Over 7 years, Patrick helped raised a bunch of money for kids on bikes.
Thank you, Patrick!
No Shootout June 21st – Do DCTC’s Chicken Leg 100 instead
From Tim:
“For folks doing the 100, we will be rolling out from the Water Tower at the Commons 7am, that’s the Earthen Ales parking lot. This is also where we will have a tent with some basic aid and support like water refills, tools, snacks. The beauty of CityLoop is you will be passing all sorts of wonderful food/drink stops, bike shops, and swimming spots. There will be an after party in the yard outside Earthen Ales under the Water Tower and a food truck or 2 as well (from 6ish-10). Stop along the loop, meet up with folks for a beer or ice cream, and encourage your friends to at least come out for 1 lap and a beer! I included a link to the ALMOST complete route. I will clean it up and send the final out this weekend. And remember the route is just a suggestion. There’s no official timing or rules and there will be spots where the route may be hard to follow, it’s part of the experience. Rip around, have a good time, ride some sketchy new connectors, have a beer with friends. It’s going to be awesome, and the loop is challenging so you will definitely get a chance to test your endurance and bicycle skills. Cheers- Tim”
“And now it is dialed. See you all next Saturday morning at Earthen Ales for a 7am roll out. Invite out some friends and encourage anyone who likes a good time to meet up with us out on loop at any point during the day. It’s a bike party and more folks joining in along the way will equal more good vibes. Food and Beer will be flowing after the ride. If you are driving in or know people who are, please park at the old Power Plant and roll over to the start, a location link is below. I also dropped the route link below, there’s a few tough spots to follow so kudos to you if you ride the whole thing clean. Thanks for bringing your energy out and sharing these good times together. Later- Tim”
