24th Annual Spaghetti 100
November 3, 2007

The Event
The Capital City Cyclists are proud to present the 24th annual Spaghetti 100 Saturday, November 3, 2007. We are offering the option of a 100 mile or 100 K (68 miles) paved road ride or a 100K dirt road ride. There is also a FAST TRACK option at a reduced cost for those who wish to ride but not stop for lunch.

All riders will leave the Miccosukee Community Center, northeast of Tallahassee, and ride north through scenic North Florida and South Georgia to historic Thomasville and Boston, Georgia, through Monticello, Florida and back to Miccosukee for a post-ride spaghetti dinner.

The dirt road course follows beautiful, canopied clay roads through the Quail Plantations. About ten miles will be on pavement. The dirt road riders will join the paved road riders for the morning rest stop in Thomasville, lunch in Boston, and spaghetti back in Miccosoukee. There will not be an afternoon rest stop between Boston and Miccosoukee (28 miles). The clay roads are non-technical. There will not be a Sag on the dirt road course, but there will be bail out points that intersect with the road ride where a disabled rider can be picked up. The dirt roads will NOT be signed; however, you will get a detailed map with mileage. In the event of rain, which turns the clay into deep mud, riders can switch to the metric or century road ride.

Limited mechanical support will be available so be sure your bike is in good condition.

The cost for the Spaghetti 100 is $40 ($36 for CCC members) plus an optional $9.00 for the Spaghetti 100 short-sleeved T-shirt. Without lunch in Boston (the Fast Track), the cost is $35 non-members, $32 CCC members. The price includes a continental breakfast, lunch at the Boston Café for those who choose, road food at the rest stops, a delicious spaghetti feast, and support vehicles.

Registration: Participants may register on-line using Active.com. There is no charge for this service and it will eliminate manual data entry by Spaghetti volunteers as well as allow the convenience of paying by credit card. Register off-line by mailing the completed application to the address listed in the brochure (mailed out in mid-September or available from local bike shops). Pre-registration deadline is October 13, 2007. Mail-in registrations must be postmarked by this date. Anyone registering after October 13th must pay a late fee of $8 and cannot order a T-shirt. Capital City Cyclists will refund 90 percent of your entry fee until October 13, 2007. The ride will be capped at 250 riders. We expect to fill up, so don't delay!

Walk-On Registration. Walk on registration for Spaghetti 100 will be allowed only if the ride is not capped. Watch this web site for updates

Packet Pick-Up will be on Friday, November 2nd at Joe's Bicycle Shop, 1637 N Monroe, Tallahassee, (850) 222-3855, from 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM (see map). You can also pick up your packet the day of the ride at the Miccosukee Community Center (see map).

Parking is limited. If possible, please carpool to Miccosukee. Since the community center is located in a residential area, we will want to be as quiet as possible in the morning. Because of the hardwood floors, we ask that you not wear cleated cycling shoes in the community center.

Continental Breakfast will be served from 7 - 8 AM.

Ride Times: Both the 100 mile and 100K road rides begin at 8 AM. There will be snack stops at approximately 25 and 75 miles for the 100 mile ride and 25K and 75K for the 100K ride.
The off-road follows at 8:10 AM.

Fast Track options enable riders to forego the lunch stop at a reduced cost. There will be a snack stop.

The Post-Ride feast will be served from 1 to 4:30 PM at the Miccosukee Community Center. Spaghetti (meat sauce or vegetarian), salad, and bread will be offered along with dessert and drinks. Additional meals for non-riders can be purchased along with registration.
