Tailwind Century

Ride like the wind. It's fun and very rewarding to ride 100 miles with the wind at your back. A bus will take the riders out 100 miles and we will ride back to the Quad Cities.

We currently offer 2 tailwind rides, one in the Spring and one in the Fall.

Spring Tailwind Century
Come join us for 2013 Spring Tailwind Century Ride
We'll start to load bikes at Ben Butterworth Parkway at 6:30 a.m. and leave at 7 a.m. for our starting destination. There will be two buses, with a limit of about 90 people. The drive normally takes about two hours.

Once there, we'll unload the bikes and send you on your way after handing out cue sheets. We will have a secure area (probably a locked trailer) for any gear you don't want to haul back on your bike. Please bring a blanket to cover your bike.

There will be a basic sag stop about 50 to 60 miles into the ride, with water, Gatorade, sub sandwiches and other goodies. Every route has plenty of small towns with services along the way if you need a full lunch.

If you are planning on riding, please sign up at Get Me Registered.

NOTE: We are in need of 2 volunteers to drive 2 Penske trucks to the ride destination. Please contact Janette Harrington at 563/343-0464 if you can help us. Thank you.
