The Queen City Century is renowned as one of the region's premier cycling events, offering an unparalleled experience for riders of all skill levels. Starting in the vibrant heart of Springfield at the esteemed Mother's Brewery, the route guides participants away from the urban landscape and into the picturesque countryside, providing a scenic and enjoyable ride. With route options ranging from 10 to 100 miles, the Queen City Century caters to various skill levels and preferences. Whether you're seeking a challenging early-season century ride with plenty of climbs or a shorter, more leisurely ride, there's an option for you. For those looking for a guided experience, our 24-mile no-drop Guided Tour showcases Springfield's nationally acclaimed trail and bikeway system, offering a relaxed and enjoyable excursion.

This event is fully supported to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all participants. Thanks to A&B Cycle, a mechanic is on duty, and roving SAG drivers monitor the route throughout the day, ready to assist with any mechanical issues or other problems. Well-stocked rest stops with snacks and water are available every 8-16 miles, ensuring riders stay refreshed and energized. The route is clearly marked on the road, and electronic route files are available for GPS devices or through a free app, providing turn-by-turn guidance. E-bikes are welcome to join in on the fun.

The Queen City Century is more than just a ride; it's a tradition that supports MoBikeFed's statewide advocacy work through the event's proceeds. Join us every third Saturday of June to experience the beauty, camaraderie, and enduring legacy of the Queen City Century.
