Come join us on
July 12, 2008 for the 3rd Annual HOT DOGGETT 100. AND JIM MUESING MEMORIAL METRIC CENTURY RIDE. Last year’s event was a great time for all of the riders and this year’s event will be even better. We are expecting about 300 riders this year.

We will have the same challenging 100 mile and 100 kilometer closed loop courses as last year. Our 100 mile course covers some of the most scenic and lightly traveled roads anywhere in western North Carolina. Those of you who are seeking a challenge will find it in the 9,600 feet of ascension on that course. For a complete course description click on the “courses” button above. For a still challenging but slightly easier ride (a mere 6,200 feet of climbing), you might want to try the 100 kilometer ride. This ride covers about 64 miles and actually goes over Devils Fork into Tennessee for a few miles. In addition, we also offer a 25 mile family fun ride.

Again this year we will have lockers and showers available for both men and women. We will have the same 8 well supplied rest stops along the course. We will have a great free meal and some entertainment after the ride for everyone. Every rider will get a T shirt and a goody bag. A limited number of low cost college dorm rooms will be available (See the "accomodations" pages). We will also be logging the finish times for all riders of the 100 mile and 100 meter rides. We have taken steps to make the ride even safer than last year’s event.

Proceeds from this event will be used to fund scholarships for students of Madison County and for Rotary service projects.

Bring the family with you to beautiful Madison County, North Carolina. We look forward to seeing you on July 12, 2008.

President, Rotary Club of Madison County.
