Date: Saturday July 2, 2011
Event: Firecracker 100
Route Distances: 10 Mile, 26 Mile, 43 Mile and 62 Mile
About the Ride: All routes are on US Highways, Farm to Market Roads and well-maintained, paved County Roads. The routes are the same as the last few years except for a few areas where improvements have been made.
Earth County roads consist of “ups” and “downs”. Most of the hills are not too long, but you’ll find some that go on for a while! And there’s even an occasional flat stretch, but they are few and far between.
One of the kinder things about the route is that the south wind will be to your back or your side, rather than in your face during the latter part of each route. That is, of course, if Mother Nature doesn’t play any tricks on us. The route format has been well received.
