Carl Andersen Memorial Metric Century
Annual GCC Events Page Dog Days of Dallas Metric Century 2010
Date: Sunday, July 11, 2010
What: 62 mile bicycle ride with 46 mile option
Route: Again for 2010, more rider friendly! The route has rolling terrain, but without most difficult hills from pre-2009. The roads include miles in Gaston, Lincoln, and Cleveland counties, with beautiful views of the South Mountain range. The route is better suited for group riding than the pre-2009 versions, but all normal caution still must be exercised by riders as the route is open to traffic and cycling has inherent dangers which cannot be eliminated.

Start/Finish: 131 W Main St, Dallas NC 28034 (Courthouse Square Downtown Dallas, NC)
