Shorefire Century

Saturday, August 5th

Middletown High School, Middletown, DE 19709

Ride beautiful, scenic routes (35, 65, and 100 miles) taking you through flat to gently rolling farmland in central Delaware as the route follows lesser traveled roads from Middletown to Clayton, Hartly, points south, and back.  All routes will be marked with route arrows and have SAG support until 5 pm.   There are rest stops along the routes at regular intervals, five on the Century route!  

Because of the flat, gently rolling terrain that the route follows, this event has become a “right-of-passage” for many cyclists as they take on the challenge of their “First Century Ride“.
