Riding again today?? You. Are. So. Strong! Anyone trying for their first century today? Have a great day out there! 💪

Here’s your route if you’re choosing the bike option for today:
- All routes will head first to Orrville. At about 12 miles you’ll get to Orr Park where food and coffee will be waiting for you. From there, you’ll have about 8 miles to decide if you’re going to do 40 or 90+ miles.
- If your legs are feeling great and you head for the longer options, your next designated stop will be in Massillon at about 30 miles. The Blue Herron Cafe will be ready to serve you up a great lunch and Ernie's Bicycle Shop is right next door - go take a look around and say hi! There’s also E-Bike charging available at this stop.
- All food/drink options in the tail parts of today’s route are FOYO (food on your own). But don’t worry, there’s a bunch of options and we marked many of them on the Ride with GPS route.
- All routes will stop in Kidron at the Kidron Town & Country Store. This is a full grocery with deli and there’s diner inside that’s open until 2:30PM. Across the street is Wild Fox Cafe, they have food, coffee, and E-Bike charging available.

CENTURY RIDERS - when you get into Mineral City and turn onto High St., the post office will be about 0.3 miles down the road on your left. Get your selfie showing the Mineral City sign, bring it back to GOBA HQ, and collect your GOBA37 Century Patch!

Here’s the details for the day:
- The AM Rest Stop is at ~mile 16, so you’ll want to be sure to get some food in camp before you hit the road. In camp OTR Smokehouse will be set up to fulfill your breakfast needs. Within 0.5 miles of camp you’ll find Milk and Honey Coffee, Nomad Coffee, and more.
- Your AM Rest Stop is at the Mansfield Fire Station, here you’ll find food and snacks from Front Street Cafe and amazing coffee from The Drip. Shortly after your stop you’ll roll by the Mansfield Reformatory!
- Lunch is in Hayesville at ~33 miles and the whole town is getting in on the fun! Village Point Market, Farmhouse Parlor & Grill, and BREW’D Coffee are all geared up with special GOBA menus and ready to fuel you up for the second portion of your ride.
- At ~44 miles you’ll get to the PM Rest Stop at Lincoln Way Vineyards. On The Rise BBQ will be stationed there along with other snacks you can find inside from the winery. Take a load off, in or outside, and build up your strength to make it the last 10 miles into Wooster. See you there!
