Chippewa Valley Century Ride: It's Time!
Pre-ride: May 24th | Ride Day: May 25th. Find all the details you need below:
Pre-Ride Get-Together: Your Official Start to Century Ride Weekend May 24th, 6-8 PM
Join fellow riders for our pre-ride get-together on Saturday, May 24th, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Spring Street Sports, located at 12 W Spring Street in Downtown Chippewa Falls. This is a fantastic opportunity to relax, mingle, and get prepared for the main event.
Enjoy complimentary snacks, refreshing drinks, and some music. To add to the fun, we're throwing it back to the 80s! Feel free to sport your favorite attire from the decade of big hair and neon.
At the get-together, you can conveniently pick up your wristband, route map, and any t-shirt you pre-ordered. Having these items in advance will ensure a smooth start to your ride on Saturday morning. Please note that a limited number of t-shirts will be available for purchase on ride day.
If you haven't registered yet, you can do so in person at the pre-ride using cash or check. For those still considering, remember that online registration offers a cost-saving advantage. The registration fee will be $75 on Saturday and Sunday, so register online before then to save!
For your peace of mind, Dave and his professional bike mechanics will be available at the pre-ride to offer basic bike checks and adjustments. Take advantage of this service to ensure your bike is in top condition for the ride.
Ride Day! May 25th
Get ready to roll! It’s the day for the 39th Annual Chippewa Valley Century Ride! Head to the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds – just follow the signs for parking and registration.
Registration opens bright and early at 7:00 AM, and that's when the ride officially BEGINS! If you couldn't make it to Saturday's pre-ride get-together, no worries! Simply stop by the registration table upon arrival to pick up your wristband before you start your cycling adventure.
Didn't pre-register? You can still join the fun! Day-of registration is available. We accept cash or checks (credit card users will need to register online via their mobile device).
Please note: Registration will close at 10:00 AM, so be sure to arrive and begin your ride before then.
After you've conquered the miles, celebrate your accomplishment with us back at the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds! Our famous post-ride brat feed will be waiting, along with fun activities and great fellowship. We'll also have information about our exciting 40th ride next year and some FREE giveaways! We can't wait to see you at the finish line!
Get Your Digital Route: Downloadable Maps for the 2025 Ride
Prefer to navigate electronically? You can download the Chippewa Valley Century Ride map for use with your preferred app or GPS device. A physical map will also be provided when you pick up your wristband.
Find the downloadable maps at this link: https://www.cvcride.org/maps-route
Important note: The 2025 route is identical to the 2024 route. Therefore, the 2024 map links provided on the website are accurate for this year's event.
We're already planning for the future – expect some new and interesting route variations in 2026!
Great news! Our Century Ride route itself is clear of construction this year. However, please be aware of potential road work as you travel to the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds in Chippewa Falls.
The most significant impact is the closure of the northbound ramp from Highway 53 at the River Street (Chippewa Falls) exit.
To reach us smoothly, we recommend these alternative routes:
Option 1: Take the Highway OO exit and follow Highway 124 directly to the Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds.
Option 2: Take the next exit, Highway S, and head east on Highway S until you reach Highway 124 South, which will lead you to the Fairgrounds.
Please plan your travel accordingly and allow for extra time to arrive safely. We look forward to seeing you!
