    What is the Sangamon Cycling Series?

    The Sangamon Cycling Series (SCS) is a four-month training program designed to help cyclists build fitness over the summer and connect with other cyclists. The program is organized by the Springfield Bicycle Club. Your registration includes entry into four supported rides starting at various locations in the Sangamon County, Illinois area. Each ride features different distances ranging from 25 miles to 100 miles. It's your choice which distance to ride. The SCS is a great way to train for the Capital City Century held in Sherman, Illinois on September 19, 2026.

    https://runsignup.com/Race/IL/Sherman/CapitalCityCentury

    Are Beginners Welcome?

    The Sangamon Cycling Series is for all levels of cyclists. There are typically groups at speeds ranging from 10 mph up to 20+. We do ask that you be familiar with safety rules and it helps to be comfortable riding in a group environment. Routes are not marked, so it helps to be comfortable navigating by GPS, although that's not required. We try to line up volunteers to lead groups at different speeds.

    Where are the Rides?

    The tentative schedule for the four rides is as follows:

    All rides start at 8:00 AM

    • SATURDAY, MAY 9, 2026

    EVENT 1 - Pawnee

    • SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 2026

    EVENT 2 - Chatham

    SUNDAY, JULY 19, 2026

    EVENT 3 - Auburn Community Park

    • SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 2026

    EVENT 4 - Athens

    What Does Registration Cover?

    We'd love to offer this series at no cost, but the small registration fee helps the Springfield Bicycle Club cover insurance and support expenses. For your registration fee, you'll receive nutrition and hydration, SAG support in the event of a mechanical breakdown, and a light post-ride meal.
