FCCUSA - Ridgeland MS

Mainly Recreational. Partially Competitive. Entirely Awesome.

The sporty and stylish town of Ridgeland is Mississippi’s premier cycling destination, attracting serious athletes and casual peddlers alike. Recognized as the state’s best waterfront destination, Ridgeland is just north of the Mississippi capital of Jackson and located on the Natchez Trace Parkway, a 444-mile scenic road following the historic travel corridor used by American Indians, settlers, slave traders, soldiers and future presidents.

Each of the FCCUSA routes utilizes a part of the parkway, known as one of the best cycling roadways in the U.S. since it’s closed to commercial traffic and under a strictly-enforced speed limit. All event activities take place at Old Trace Park on the Ross Barnett Reservoir, a haven for boaters, kayakers, skiers, anglers, paddle boarders, picnickers and birdwatchers.

Fondo Cycling Circuit USA is a six-city event series attracting both recreational and competitive cyclists who compete in one of three distances: 30 miles, 50 miles or 75 miles.

While more recreational in nature, several timed sections along each route offer a competitive element for cyclists looking for a challenge. In the end, it’s all about personal achievement!

The two-day event is comprised of a retail expo, athlete check-in and late registration on Saturday followed by the rides on Sunday. Each FCCUSA event culminates with a food truck & craft beer festival and live music.

Each registered cyclist receives a t-shirt, sling bag, finisher medal, water bottle, tickets to the food trucks and craft beer, plus other amenities.

Price increases after September 27.
