    Ride Options

    » 16 mile route is a nice country ride. Mostly flat with some hills. The 16 mile route is the only route that does not travel around beautiful 6-mile Lake Santee.

    » 34 mile route travels to Lake Santee, around and back. Enjoy the rolling "humps" and hills.

    There are two 67-mile route choices:

    » 67 Flatter - This route doesn’t have as many hills as the Hilly 67. You will travel to Lake Santee and back to Greensburg, then to Westport and back. 5 SAG stops are on this route.

    » 67 Hilly - This route travels to and around 6-mile Lake Santee, then through small towns of Clarksburg, Buena Vista, Hamburg, Enochsburg and back to Greensburg. Around Hamburg, you’ll pass the Hillenbrand Airport, and travel along some streams and through a historic covered bridge. This year we have brought back the optional 4-mile Hill Top (Hell Top) loop for a whopping 277 ft climb to a 13% grade. There are 5 SAG stops on this route. (Hamburg stop has no restrooms)

    » Century (100+) route starts with the Hilly 67-mile route. Once back at the courthouse, riders proceed to Westport for the last 34 mile loop. This route is very scenic, hilly and includes the optional 4-mile Hell Top loop. Riders will be traveling through two covered bridges, around beautiful Lake Santee and 6 small towns (6 SAG Stops on this route, no restrooms at the Hamburg stop)

    Our 67 Hilly and Century routes have been deemed on official training rides for the Hilly Hundred ride that will take place on October 4–6, 2024.

    Annual Campaign

    Scholarship Program

    At the YMCA, one of our most important goals has always been to enrich the lives of the kids in our community, but when some are left out, it leaves us all a bit poorer. As a person with vested interest in the future of our community, you can help these kids grow into responsible and successful adults.

    YMCA activities help children develop valuable skills, gain confidence and build self-esteem. By contributing to the YMCA Annual Campaign, you can help us teach these young people important values such as caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

    In 2023 the Decatur County Family YMCA provided $99,189 in financial assistance to those in need as a direct result of the many giving hearts throughout our community. Our 2024 goal is to raise $104,000.00 and to extend our reach to many other children in need of our services.

    We live in an age where many households are headed by single parents or a home where both parents need to work full time. Many struggle to make a life for their families. They seek solutions to real-life issues. It becomes the responsibility of everyone in the community to help our working families instill the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility in every youth. At the YMCA, we can work together to engage our youth in meaningful programs, and create opportunities through meaningful personal relationships that enhance individual development.

    We can help to build in youth the strong character needed to make positive decisions about the direction they choose in life. The mission-driven programs of the YMCA do just that. A lasting gift to a child is that of a community with a listening ear and a caring heart.

    Exercise the love in your heart by registering and participating in this ride. Your gift will support the mission of the YMCA and will serve the children who need us most.

    Together, We Can Build a Better Us.
