Worthy winners will be produced on this challenging circuit that has hosted numerous races over the years, including the 2001/2002 Ohio State Championships. Our course, a scenic 8.3 mile loop which passes through Cuyahoga Valley National Park and is intended to favor the all-around rider, rather than a climbing or sprinting specialist. From the start across from Woodridge High, the course is Quick Rd. – Norton Heights Dr. – Eakins Rd. – W. Steels Corners Rd. – Haas/ Wetmore Rd. – Akron-Peninsula Rd. – Quick Rd.

Cuyahoga Falls lies just north of Akron. Take SR 8 to Steels Corners Rd. and proceed west for 1½ miles to State Rd. Turn right (north) on State and continue for 0.4 miles, then bear to the left on Quick Rd. (at North Lanes) and proceed for ½ mile to parking/registration at Woodridge Middle School, located at 4451 Quick Rd. (on your right).

All riders are welcome! Rider categories are self-assigned, subject to Chief Referee’s approval. Wearing of CPSC-approved helmet is mandatory at all times you are on your bicycle, and all USCF racing rules apply. Tandems, recumbents, and aero bars that point forward or up are not permitted (the Scott "Rake" is OK).
