Sangamon Cycling Series - Four Ride Series 2026

The Sangamon Cycling Series is a four-ride summer training series in Sangamon County, Illinois, organized by the Springfield Bicycle Club. It offers one supported ride monthly from May through August, starting at 8:00 AM. Meeting points rotate among locations like Pawnee, Chatham, Auburn Community Park, and Athens. Riders select their own distance, with options from approximately 25 miles up to a century ride, based on the day's route. This is a club training series, designed for cyclists aiming to increase distance before the Capital City Century in Sherman. Groups typically ride between 10 mph and 20 mph, accommodating beginners, steady club riders, and faster cyclists. Routes are unmarked; riders should know basic road safety and be comfortable with group riding and GPS navigation. The Springfield Bicycle Club is a 501(c)(3) organization with over 380 members. The small entry fee supports insurance and ride support.
