Welcome to the 19th annual TAMAGO CHRISTMAS CENTURY

Here are the rules:

The ride rolls out regardless of the weather: Rain or shine or sleet or snow or blizzard. The pace is steady but conversational. That said, this should not be your first century.

Most years, we’ll do a full 100 miles - typically heading south to the Indiana Dunes, via the Eerie Lackawanna Trail. Cyclocross and/or gravel bikes are not necessary, but highly encouraged.

If the weather is particularly challenging, we’ll shorten it to a metric century.

Many businesses are closed on Christmas, so please be prepared with proper clothing, nutrition, and an adventurous spirit. Knock on wood, we have not yet lost a rider on one of these centuries.

It’s too warm! Go ride outside!
