Door County is a cycling paradise. Scenic back roads blanket a peninsula with over 300 miles of scenic shoreline, limestone bluffs, and an endless array of quaint gift shops, restaurants and lodging options. Known for its many cherry and apple orchards, scenic vistas, and unique evening sunsets, the Door Peninsula is commonly referred to by visitors as “the Cape Cod of the Midwest.” It’s no wonder that the Door County Century ride became a yearly pilgrimage for thousands of riders from all over the United States and abroad.
The Door County Century was founded in 1979 by members of the Bay Shore Bicycle Club in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The ride was a labor of love for the Green Bay club, truly exemplifying what we consider these days a grass-roots event.
