Come join us and learn to ride properly and to train for cycling’s equivalent of a marathon—the century (100-mile) ride. Your training will culminate with the Bluff City Blues 100 Ride on October 6.

Having a hard time imagining riding 100 miles? The team also will train cyclists to ride a Metric Century (62 miles). Either way, the team can help you get there. We have trained well over 300 cyclists. Team members are cyclists of varying backgrounds and abilities, including many who are new to the sport. If you can ride your bike for an hour, you can train and do a century. It only takes desire, dedication, and proper training.

Orientation Meeting

We will have an orientation meeting on Monday, March 19 at 6:30 pm at the MHBC Clubhouse at 397 Cumberland Street in Memphis (behind Wiseacre Brewery, off of Broad Street). Come learn about what is involved, our training schedule, cost, and more.
