We Noticed! We noticed that your response to our 2017 BRC jersey design was less than overwhelming.
So, we took a quick break from putting the final touches on the Back Roads Century Weekend and worked up a new design we think you will like better.
The Jersey design features the some of the visual highlights of the BRC: bright colors reflecting the sun coming up over the Shenandoah Valley, images of the hills, rivers, and fields that mark the route, apple orchards, and the old school tower in downtown Shepherdstown.
Unfortunately, this redesign means that
jersey's will not be available for the day of the ride.
We will be taking order through September 25 and jerseys will be mailed to your home in early November.
(If you already ordered a jersey check your email for a message from us about choosing between a new jersey or a refund.)
This isn't just a bike ride - it's a weekend event!

Now, there's also a PARTY!
Our friends at the
Town Run Tap House and Community Pub
are hosting us from 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 16. We will have live music by
Wayne Snow
to keep things going. The Town Run also sports an arcade room with pinball machines and video games, as well as a full bar with local beers and ciders. And of course, it is a great way to relax before the ride and to meet other riders.
We will be offering a wholesome buffet-style dinner for $15. If you want to dine at one of Shepherdstown's other fine restaurants, come by afterwards for some music and company (no cover charge).

Ride FREE Saturday!
Come Saturday and enjoy a weekend of cycling!
Working with our friends at the Panhandle Pedalers, we'll offer Saturday rides - a shorter ride around 20 miles and a longer one around 35 miles. Both will be in Maryland and feature quiet country roads, historic sites and,the opportunity to tour the historic Antietam Battlefield. Plan to come out and loosen up your legs before Sunday.
