One Helena Hundred - July 17, 2010
The annual celebration of cycling for the Helena Bicycle Club will be Saturday, July 17, 2010. Starting from Cascade City Park
The One Helena Hundred is a 100-mile or 100 kilometer Century Ride along the beautiful Missouri River. This year our route will begin in Cascade MT at Cascade City Park just 1 block off of Main Street.
Riders will travel south to the Wolf Creek, MT, turning around just before dropping into Wolf Creek returning to Cascade for a hardy lunch. This will complete the Metric Century. The Mile Century Riders will continue north from Cascade to Ulm, then east over the Smith River with a turn around back to Cascade.
The route is gentle with some small rolling hills. Lunch is provided in Cascade as well as 3 nutritious rest stops !
