Started in 1983, this is the year 30 of the Get Ready Metric century ride. Cyclists who have not yet had a serious ride this year can enjoy easy pedaling through flat to slightly rolling terrain of the farm country of Southern New Jersey. Start out from historic Fort Mott State Park by the Delaware River in Pennsville, climb and walk through the old Fortress's paths and tunnels where not a single shot was fired in anger. Right next to it sits the historic Civil War Finns Point National Cemetery, and easy five-mile bike ride. At mile 42.5 you can visit the historic Hancock House, site of a small Revolutionary War battle and killing of local civilians.

Start anytime between 8 am to 10 am and ride at your own pace. You can choose to ride just the first loop, enjoy lunch by the Riverview Pavilion and call it a day, or ride both loops and enjoy lunch after a full day of great riding. To do the full metric century, you ride the first loop out to the 15 mile water stop (Quinton Twp Municipal Building). You then pick up the second loop which begins and finishes at the water stop. After finishing the second loop you resume the first loop back to Fort Mott.
The second loop is more challenging than the first, with a 9 mile series of moderate hill climbs. We will have sag service but no water stop within this loop. A few stores and delis are located along or near both routes. Cue sheets, painted route markings, and sag wagon service and the water/banana stop are provided.

Cue sheets, painted road markings and sag wagon services are provided. In addition to food, the entry fee includes a give away item. In past years these have included sew-on patches, high quality water bottles, first aid kits, and tube patch kits. This year we are considering several new items. Fee for South Jersey Wheelmen members is $10.00 which includes the give away item. Club T-Shirts are  available for purchase at the ride. Come out and enjoy!
