COP has their annual Blue Jay ride, starting from the Newark YMCA, 470 West Church St, 8:00am.  This is a hilly route with three mileages available; 36, 66 (most popular, 4900’ of climb) and 87. The 66 mile has one option for food/drink, on route, in Zanesville. Please make sure you stop there and restock. The 87 has more options; the 87 route will split from the 65 route at mile 44. The short route splits from 65 at mile 16.8. A few maps at the start so print your own or down load the route to your device.

Then there is the Tour of the Hocking Hills Gran Fondo. Starting at: 2805 old logan rd se lancaster, oh 43130, Lancaster, OH  43130 The offering is a 100 mile or a 60-mile course. They will both be well marked with directional arrows. Everyone will get a course map.  There will be snacks and drinks at the Cantwell Cliff's and Rock House State Park and post ride drinks and snack at the finish area. Everyone who pre-registers gets an official event tee-shirt. If you wait till the day of the event and still want a tee-shirt to add $10.00 to the entry fee for "handling and shipping".
Don't show up without at least a 34x30 compact crank or 39x32 regular crank. There are a few very steep sections on both courses.
The top 3 in each category will receive awards. Everyone who finishes will also receive a finisher's medal.
