Event details and schedule

The Anne Arundel County Lifeline 100 Century Ride is co-sponsored by the Anne Arundel County Police Department, Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks, and Bicycle Advocates for Annapolis and Anne Arundel County. All event proceeds support the following non-profit organizations:

• Anne Arundel County Crisis Response System

• Bicycle Advocates for Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Bike Safety Programs

• Friends of Anne Arundel County Trails and Friends of Kinder Farm Park

Each ride will be show-and-go. Starting schedules will be posted soon! Please keep in mind that this is a ride, not a race! The routes include some paved trail segments with posted speed limits. Come out and enjoy the day.

The Family Safari Ride is free and open to children ages ten and under and their parents/guardians. It is held on the paved trails at Kinder Farm Park.

Another FREE Fun event for the kids... once again the Lifeline 100 will host a Children's Bike Rodeo - a fun bicycle safety orientation and obstacle course - for ages 4-10. To register for the Children's Bike Rodeo, please visit our website.
