C3 Tri-County Classic Cycling Event (100 Mile, 65.4 Mile, 37.7 mile, and 23 Mile Courses)

Welcome to Chesapeake Cycling Club's Tri-County Classic spring cycling event, that will take you on a tour of Talbot, Queen Anne's, and Caroline Counties, in the heart of Maryland's Eastern Shore, considered one of the top cycling destinations in America, with “a crazy quilt of fields, small towns, coves, and sinuous tributary rivers.

Checkin Details: So we will have checkin from 6:30am to 10am. We have each group as a suggested start time 7:00am 100 mile route, 7:30am 65 mile route, 8:00am for the 37 mile route and 8:30am for the 23 mile route this is so you can ride with the group doing your route and based on rest stop times. It is a checkin with a show up and go so no big line up but no checkins after 10am. You need to keep in mind that the Oxford ferry and Scottish Highland Creamery opens at 9am which is 50 miles out for the 65 and 100 mile group with 14 miles for the 37 mile group. You know your speed so you decide what time works for you within the range we have provided.
