Course Route
The Kelly Brush Century Ride offers three distances, perfect for any level rider. Each is the same registration fee and if you sign up for one but decide to do a different one before ride day, that’s fine too. Please let us know if you do choose to change your distance, as we need to keep track of where all the riders are on the big day. You can change your distance at anytime by contacting the Kelly Brush Foundation office at 802-846-5298 or by emailing betsycabrera@kellybrushfoundation.org
100 Mile Loop! We had an overwhelmingly positive response to our new 100-mile loop last year which will be the same for the 2010 ride. The 100 mile riders start with the 28 and 50 milers then head north at mile 35 for an additional 50 mile loop which takes them through beautiful Charlotte and Shelburne and back down to Middlebury for their Century Ride.

The 50 mile loop, starting in Middlebury, VT and passing through Button Bay State Park at approximately 28 miles, has been touted as one of the most beautiful rides in Vermont. The route begins with scenic farmlands rolling down to Lake Champlain’s waters edge. It continues alongside the lake, offering stunning views of the Adirondack Mountains on your left and the Green Mountains to your right. The water/food stop, located at the entrance to Button Bay State Park, is nicely secluded from busy roads and proivdes a large grassy area for refueling and taking a breather! The ride finishes up through the rolling hills of Addison County and the gorgeous Morgan Horse Farm Road. The route is perfect for bikers of all levels and is sure to please the eye as well!

Riders choosing 28 miles will begin with the pack and end at the water/food stop at Button Bay State Park 28 miles into the first loop. They will get a chance to ride some of the most beautiful route, ending at the gorgeous Lake Champlain waterfront. Click here for a Map of this route.
Please note – There will be limited transportation back to the start area – Riders should plan on providing their own transportation.
Not sure if you’re ready to complete the full 100 miles? Not to worry – we have incorporated a 65 mile and an 85 mile option into this year’s ride. If you are feeling like you want to do more than 50 but not quite 100, one of these options may be just right for you. When registering, please register for the 100 mile loop then just take the re-direct on ride day depending on how your day is going. Click here for a Map of the 85 mile route. or the 65 mile route.
