The Wild Chicken 100

Come join us, this April, in Fitzgerald, Georgia for the 7th Annual Wild Chicken 100 and enjoy a full day of bike riding, good fellowship, Southern hospitality, and great food in one of the best small towns in South Georgia. Better yet, make it a weekend full of riding on some of the finest, rural, backroads in this whole area with friends, surrounded by folks who will treat you like you're the good type of family. This ride will be challenging whether you partake in the racing, push yourself to ride a new, longer distance, or if you'd like to make a day of it while you ride party pace. We'll celebrate each rider and what they've accomplished and gotten to be apart of and we'll join together for a delicious post-ride meal. This ride will focus on the mixed terrain rides, but we'll also feature two routes for those roadies out there. For the mixed terrain rides, we'll let you choose from four different distances: Small (15-20ish miles), Medium (30-40ish miles), Large (60-80ish miles), and XL (100ish miles), and an XXL distance of 150+ miles!! The Large and XL distance courses will be a race and awards will be given for the Top 3 overall finishers regardless of age, gender, or any other differences or demographics. We are celebrating folks who ride bikes! And if you want to ride these distances, but have no desire to "race", then by all means, do it. That's what my plan would be. The awards will be given and announced mid-afternoon/evening when most have finished up, but regardless of your finishing time, we'll be cheering on those who've taken longer and are really getting their monies worth! These routes will feature a mixture of gravel, clay, dirt, and sand and have about a 60%-75% to 25%-40% ratio of dirt to pavement. Each of these distances will have SAG stops spaced about 20-30 miles apart. We'll make sure there are restrooms for our longer distance riders. For the roadies we'll have distances of S (15-20 miles) and a M (30-40 miles).

For the 2024 edition of the Wild Chicken 100, we'll be keeping what has worked, throwing away what hasn't, trying a few new things, and doing what we'd like most in a ride. We ride quite a bit, but don't get to go to, too many races, and there's some great ones we go to and there's some we pay a lot for and leave feeling as if we should have just ridden at home. We want each one of you to leave feeling you were important and wanted at our race/ride. All types of bikes are welcome. All types of riders are welcome. We just like riding bikes, with friends old and new, and finding new favorite roads. E-bikes are welcome, but can't compete for awards.

Information regarding lodging details and all last minute items will come in emails and will also be posted on our Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/The-Wild-Chicken-100-601337467048150/).
