A bicycle tour of scenic Southwest Racine and Walworth County back roads is planned for Sunday, August 30, 2009. The Cream City Century Classic draws over 500 bicyclists from Wisconsin and northern Illinois. There 30, 56, 78, and 100 mile routes to choose from. This is a family-friendly event for riders of all ages. Local riders are encouraged to join us for this fun event. The ride begins in Waterford and has routes that travel through Rochester, Lyons, Elkhorn, Spring Prairie, La Grange, and East Troy. At the end of the tour, there are shower facilities available and a spaghetti dinner provided by the Waterford High School Band Booster Club is included with the registration fee. Riders will have rest stops with homemade treats and are supported by "sag vehicles" if assistance is needed. This is a fund-raiser for the club and the Waterford Band Boosters. The Cream City Cycle Club is an active supporter of the Boys and Girls Club. Participants should plan on carrying the basics: a water bottle, sun screen, a spare tube and helmets are highly recommended. The ride includes rolling and hilly terrain with some steeper climbs on the 100 mile route.
