The Queen City Century stands as one of the region’s premier cycling events, providing an unparalleled experience for riders of all skill levels. Commencing in the vibrant center of Springfield at the esteemed Mother’s Brewery, the route leads participants away from the urban landscape and into the picturesque countryside.
The ride is fully supported with a mechanic on duty (thanks A&B Cycle!), roving SAG drivers will be monitoring the route all day, pickup in case of mechanical or other problems, and well stocked rest stops with snacks and water every 8-16 miles. The route is well marked on the road and electronic route files for your GPS device or the free app will guide you turn by turn. EBikes are welcome.
With distances reaching up to 100 miles, the Queen City Century offers both challenging terrain for an early-season century ride with plenty of climbing, as well as a more accessible flat-century route for those who prefer a gentler incline. Shorter variations of both routes, anywhere from 10 to 100 miles, are offered as well.
Our Guided Tour is a 24-mile no-drop excursion that showcases Springfield’s nationally acclaimed trail and bikeway system.
The Queen City Century is dedicated to supporting MoBikeFed’s statewide advocacy work through the event’s proceeds. We invite you to join us in this annual tradition, taking place every third Saturday of June. Experience the beauty and camaraderie of the Queen City Century and be a part of an enduring legacy.
