Scenic rolling terrain through quaint small towns of southern Medina and northern Wayne County. See the charm and grace of Western Reserve towns and beautiful farmland. There are three routes: 62, 42, and 25 miles. The 62 and 42 mile routes will take you Hartzler Family Dairy Ice Cream shop near Wooster, Ohio for an ice cream cone.The 62 mile route continues through the scenic Overton Galley to West Salem, while the 42 mile returns to the start/finish. The 25 mile route, for the casual rider, will take you on a shorter enjoyable ride.

The Start/Finish is at the Medina County University Center located at 6300 Technology Lane off of Route 162 just south of Medina, Ohio between Route 3 and Route 42.

The cost is $20.00 prior to July 2  and $25 after that date. The ride will include a map, Road arrows, a snack stop on the long route, and a free cookout for all riders back at the Medina County University Center. This will be a sagged ride with the support of Century Cycles, but riders should be prepared to make some of their own repairs.
