Welcome to the Springfield Bicycle Club

Capital City Century

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the Springfield Bicycle Club's 36th annual Capital City Century in September. Nearly 700 riders participated on a beautiful late summer day. We've had highly positive feedback from riders, and there were no major injuries. A big thank you to the 100+ volunteers from SBC and Radio Club who provided great food and support services for this event.

Mark your calendars now for the 37th annual CCC, to be held on Sunday, September 13, 2009! Consider joining us for the free Historic Ride the day prior.

A special CCC commemorative jersey is available for purchase. Pictures and an order form are on the CCC web page.

Come ride with us!

We have rides to accommodate cyclists of all abilities and skill levels. If you haven't ridden with us you can read about our rides and find out what to expect. We look forward to riding with you.

New Ride Rules for 2009

The SBC Board approved revised mileage rules at its October 2008 meeting. The new rules were developed to better reflect the club's dual mission, which is to provide opportunities for cyclists to ride together and to promote and advocate for cycling in the community.
