- 8AC+/14.7101101.1101.10Coastal CenturyJason Ingargiola
It's one of the rides you look forward to all season long and its popularity continues to grow. It's the annual Coastal Century, an out-of-area century ride designed exclusively for SCBC. The distinctive, original course maximizes the scenery and minimizes the climbing (just 4,200 feet of elevation gain and only two big hills, both in the first 45 miles) as it winds clockwise through rural farmland, state forests and then the coastline communities from Old Saybrook to Guilford. Unlike other century rides, there's no registration fee and no reservation is required. But this is a self-supported ride and you're advised to pack some extra energy bars and bring $20 for food and drinks. Brief stops for fluids and snacks at miles 28 and 76. At mile 54 in Essex, we will take a full-length rest stop for sandwiches and your favorite sugary sweets. There is a bailout option at this point for an 80 mile route.

- 9:30AB-/16.86666.066.00Cornwall's MarchJon Swallen
An annual autumn event on the SCBC Ride Schedule since 2009, "Cornwall's March" is a 5-star route through some of the best cycling sections in NW Connecticut and SW Massachusetts. It's characterized by (1) the gently rolling terrain of the Housatonic River valley which lends itself to pacelines and faster speeds; and (2) photo-worthy views of the colorful mid-October foliage. There's only significant climb on the course and it comes late in the ride; a 3+ mile stair-step hill with gentle grades. One rest stop at a local store where you can buy snacks, pastries, sandwiches and beverages.

- 10:15AD+/123232.432.40Litchfield Goshen TourTom EbersoldTour the quiet country lanes, rolling fields, and wooded roads of Litchfield, Morris, and Goshen with views of White Memorial Conservation Center and Bantam Lake. Since you are riding through the Litchfield Hills, there is climbing (although less than you might expect in this area), but the views and downhills reward your efforts. The route has 1,800 ft. of elevation gain, or 56 ft. of climbing per mile.
- 8:30AMB/688.18.10Rockhouse Sanctuary TrailsOz Yorulmaz
Come join me for a ride on some of the nicest MTB trails we have in our area. We'll be riding at Rockhouse in Oxford CT.

Come prepared with water, snacks and anything you may need to do trailside repairs. You will need to be on a mountain bike or fatbike.
We will start from the Moose Hill road parking lot which is a short distance from the intersection of Moose Hill Road and Holbrook Road.
NOTE: Please don't arrive late as we all need to sign the waiver for the MTB rides.
