The Opelika Bicycle Advisory Committee brings you its 15th annual Johnny Ray Century benefitting the Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson's Disease.

An initiative of the East Alabama Cycling Club, the century travels the quiet but often rough backroads of Lee, Chambers, and Randolph counties, following the famous 19th-century Central of Georgia spur. Riders cross the old railroad bed in Lafayette. The 105-mile century option takes riders into downtown Roanoke where Johnny Ray himself, its famed conductor, is believed buried.

The century is OBAC/EACC's fundraiser for the Davis Phinney Foundation for Parkinson's Disease. It donates 100% of all donations and registration fees - minus expenses for food and supplies. Davis Phinney, an olympic and professional bike racer, manages the disease himself and directs the foundation. 

Riders receive excellent support on the routes. Rest stops feature a variety of foods and fluids. Expect special treats at select stops. Enjoy a continental breakfast including breads from Panera. A catered lunch awaits you!

There's plenty of parking at and near the church. Hotel/motels are nearby and accommodating. Please see the list on the website. Let them know you're doing the Johnny Ray Century!

Tee-shirts only to those registered on or before September 15.  

Helmets required. Ride goes rain or shine!
