The 43 mile and metric century routes provide a picturesque ride through Lehigh Twp and Moore Twp in Northampton County with 2 challenging hill climbs and a passage through a covered bridge in Carbon County. The 19 mile ride stays on the south side of the Blue Mtn range and includes smaller climbs to accommodate the intermediate and beginner cyclists and is equally picturesque riding through farm country. The metric ride combines both rides for a more challenging route for experienced cyclists.
Each route provides rest areas with snack and hydration stations.
For your SAFETY, the ride is escorted by the B.A.C.K. Harley motorcycle club, Pennsylvania State Police and a SAG wagon, with fire police stationed at major intersections.
THIS RIDE IS NOT A RACE ! ! and we expect all cyclists to respect our efforts for safety and the escort team protecting your ride.
Helmets are REQUIRED and E bikes are permitted on this ride.

Many have enjoyed the challenge of the Savage as a “ride of passage”. Others return each year to enjoy the rural beauty of Chester and Lancaster Counties—from the simple charm of Pennsylvania Dutch and Amish farmlands to the scenic vistas from the hills along the Susquehanna River. Warm up on rolling hills heading west of Newark DE toward Nottingham PA. Then head for steeper hills and put your training to the test on the infamous Slate Hill, Bradys Hill, Pilgrims Pathway and Furniss Road!
For those new to the Savage Century, it is recommended for the longer routes that bikes be equipped with a low gear of about 40 gear-inches (e.g. 28-tooth rear sprocket and 42-tooth chain ring on typical road bike with a 27-inch tire) or lower to prevent undue strain on the major hills. Come for the ride. Ride for the challenge!

Franklin County Cyclists presents MICHAUX GRVL 2026
The Franklin County Cyclists are excited to once again host Michaux GRVL for 2026, and are offering 4 awesome routes with a fun scavenger hunt on all courses for everyone!
We are continuing to partner with 2 great local groups for this event; Friends of Michaux State Forest and Bulldog Bike Park. Proceeds from this year's event will be distributed to both groups, and each will be active participants in the event by running aid stations and providing volunteers along the route.
Our 2026 Beneficiaries:
MICHAUX GRVL 2026 is a ride and race to be taken at your own pace. We will be offering timing on each route for those interested in their personal statistics, and results will be posted on our website following the event. The fast may go fast & the slow may go slow. The routes we've got on tap take you through some wonderful scenery, so stop and take it in!
We recommend the use of gravel bikes with tires of at least 35mm for any route since some stretches of road can be chunky and there is a risk of punctures with smaller tires on the downhill sections of the courses.
There will be no day-of registrations, and all participants must complete their registrations on BikeReg prior to the close of the event registration. We are coordinating a pre-race packet pick up on Friday evening 6-8pm September 25, 2026 with Michaux Brewing Co. (11657 Buchanan Trail E, Waynesboro, PA 17268). Day-of packet pick up will be available prior to the start - we STRONGLY encourage 100 mile riders to pick their packet up the day prior.

AID STATION AND FINISH CUTOFF TIMES
While we want everyone to have a great time and finish the ride, we also must take into consideration the length of time our volunteer SAG motos are out on the course. Due to this, we will be STRICTLY enforcing cutoff times for Aid Stations, Food Truck, and the Finish Line.
All Riders must cross the timing mat at the start of the ride and completion of their chosen route in order to receive an accurate ride time The Ride Organizers will do their best to ensure that all riders who start the ride are accounted for at the end, but it is the responsibility of the rider to make sure they either cross the mat or check in at the registration table at the completion of the ride.
