An early morning bike ride was in the cards for many riders as they rode in the 2023 Peninsula Century Spring Classic on Saturday morning. 

Riders of all ages were welcome to compete in the events, which were split into four different rides based on distances. The rides included the 100-mile which went as low as Institute and was high as Gills Rock, the Metric Century (64.9 miles), 50-mile and 25-mile. Each ride had a unique sightseeing opportunity in it, including a ride over Kangaroo Lake and through Cave Point for some riders. 

The idea of getting out and active was the main goal for most riders at the event. With the Peninsula Century Spring Classic being a ride instead of a race the competitors were given “suggested” starting times instead of all lining up at the start and racing against each other. The ride included seven stocked stations and the riders were provided with a post-ride meal.
