The Collin Classic Routes for 2008

The 17th Collin Classic is a rural bicycle rally that will start and finish at the McKinney North High School on Saturday, June 14, 2008. The ride begins at 8:00am.

Packet Pick-Up and Registration on the day of the ride open at 6:30am.

Offering routes of 4, 15, 22, 34, 47 and 55 miles, this event will attract families, weekend warriors and avid cyclists to celebrate life in a day filled with fun.

Our 4 mile route is a flat loop, designed for the family with kids who are not ready for an open road ride - but want to see what a big bike rally is all about. All other routes will cross over US75 and ride out into the countryside of Northeastern Collin County.

For those of you who plan to ride a mountain bike, we have a 15 mile Mountain Bike Only route that will travel those same roads, but it will take off cross country on a gravel road for several miles before rejoining the other routes.

Our 22, 34, 47 and 55 mile routes are all single loop routes . We are travelling to the Northeast portion of Collin County in order to avoid the chip seal pavement associcated with the roads in Northwestern Collin County. We even found miles of new asphalt. Worried about missing out on the big hill at the finish of our old routes? Not to worry. We have plenty of rolling hills on our new routes that will provide plenty of challenge.

The 17th Collin Classic will have:

 

  •   High-energy start/finish at the McKinney North High School
  •   Fully stocked break points along the way
  •   Support along the routes from area law enforcement personnel
  •   Roving bicycle mechanics providing technical assistance
  •   Medical support
  •   Showers in the finish area (at the high school)
  •   FREE food and refreshments in the cafeteria after the ride
  •   Post ride massage available (for a fee) in the cafeteria


Bring your family and friends. Come join the thousands of other cyclists for a two-wheeled adventure as we celebrate life.
