DoubleDecker Festival

 Spring Ride Staging Area

Welcome to the Double Decker Spring Ride.

It's that time of year again - Oxford Cycling is hosting its annual "No Guts No Glory" Double Decker Road Ride on April 25, 2010. sponsored by Gastroenterology Associates and Endoscopy Center of North Mississippi. The ride begins 90 minutes after the start of the Annual 10k Run for those who want to participate in both events.

This year we will have 10, 24, 50 and 66 mile loops that meander through the rolling hill country of Lafayette County. These routes will be fully supported with pre-ride bike maintenance, rest stops where you can top off with mid-ride snacks, and rolling sag support for any mechanical issues or tired riders. Our sponsors also provide pre-ride breakfast and post-ride pizza to replace spent calories. The short route will start with a brief safety review and have experienced cyclists riding as the lead and sweep.

Don't forget that the ride coincides with Oxford's Double Decker Festival (DDF). DDF takes over the Downtown Oxford Square with pedestrian traffic, locals peddling their arts and crafts, elite and down-home restaurants offering their signature dishes, and bands playing all day. There is even a corner for younger kids to have fun.

Proceed Recipients

The proceeds from this year's ride will go to Bike-Walk Mississippi and two local no-kill shelters that operate on tight budgets helping animals find homes - Friends of Pete (dog rescue network) and 9 Lives Cat Rescue.
