Packet Pick Up and Day-Of Registration begin at 7am Saturday morning, September 27th.
Event Description
The Fall Century is the Tulsa Bicycle Club's fully-supported, fall cycling tour with multiple ride lengths to choose from, including 10, 30, 50, 62 and 100 miles. The Tulsa Bicycle Club has sponsored this ride every fall for many years, and it has become a fall tradition for Tulsa-area cyclists and for a host of out-of-town cyclists as well. Many Tulsa cyclists claim the Fall Century as their first century ride. The routes are great and the rest stops are legendary. The time of year makes it a great time to either test the strength and endurance you've built over the year or take a relaxing ride of shorter length to celebrate the arrival of fall after the long, hot, Oklahoma summer!
Location and Course
TBC's Fall Century will start and finish at the Whirlpool Corporation, 76th St N. and Yale, and will feature top quality rest stops throughout the route. Rest stops are provided for registered riders only. Support for riders will end at 4:00 p.m. on ride day.
T-Shirts
To assure a t-shirt, completed registrations must be received no later than Wednesday, September 3rd. The ride proceeds "rain or shine." There will be no refunds; unclaimed t-shirts will be considered donations at the end of the day.
About Our Beneficiary
Scott Carter was a 13-year old boy who died in December 1993 after a courageous three-year battle with bone cancer. During the duration of his illness, he put together a remarkable collection of sports and celebrity memorabilia which he called "Scott Carter's Heroes". His dream was to display the collection for the enjoyment of the public and to raise money for children's cancer research.
Scott believed that if enough time, energy and money were devoted to children's cancer research, a cure could be found for this dreaded disease, the number one disease killer of children today in the United States. The Scott Carter Foundation was formed to raise money to further Scott's dream of finding that cure! The foundation is supported through private donations and a variety of fund raisers.
Because the Scott Carter Foundation is operated out of the Carter's home by volunteers, almost all money raised goes toward funding research projects. A local committee including several physicians and headed by Scott's grandfather, Dr. Paul Compton, help us to evaluate where our money goes. For the most part, over the past ten years we have chosen to fund "fellowships" for young but promising physicians through the National Childhood Cancer Foundation.
