TOSRV South
April 17-18, 2010

The Event
The Capital City Cyclists club is proud to present the 28th Tour of Springtime Rural Vistas.

Classic TOSRV South tours the rural back roads of North Florida and South Georgia. As in years past, the ride will take you through several small rural towns, across gently rolling hills, by picturesque farmlands and pecan groves in the bloom of springtime. We promise great food and plenty of it, good company, full ride support including medic and mechanic, and true southern hospitality. Reserve your space now. The ride is limited to 500 riders to preserve the quality of the ride. This may be the best two day ride you have ever done.

Terrain and Mileage
This two day ride is a tour, not a race. The last leg of the standard century route back into Havana has some notable hills. The rest of the standard route and the entire metric route is a mixture of flat terrain and gently rolling hills. Both the standard and metric centuries have a Saturday night destination of Albany, Georgia.

 Route Options
 The Standard Route is 200 miles in 2 days. More experienced riders will like this challenge originating and finishing in the picturesque town of Havana, Florida. This route is suited for the conditioned rider.

The Metric Route is 140 miles in 2 days, 67 miles the first day and 73 miles the second day. Intermediate riders will enjoy the ride originating and finishing in Cairo, Georgia. This is the preferred choice for riders who would not be able to finish the standard route in time to be off the course by 5:00 p.m.

You can view and print all of the TOSRV 2010 maps and cue sheets here.

Camping
You can bring camping gear, and we'll carry it for you. Indoor overnight camping accommodations will be available Saturday at Darton College in Albany. Showers are also available at Darton College. Camping is not available in Havana or Cairo on Friday night. However, the following campground is listed by Adventure Cycling as supporting bicycle tourists with camping, showers, and restrooms: Lakeshore Travel Park, 6401 W. Tennessee St. (Phone: 850 574 5998).

Motels for Friday Night

Motels for Saturday Night in Albany
The following motels are clustered in the Mall area of NW Albany and have blocks of rooms held at discount rates. Identify yourself as being with the "TOSRV" bike ride to receive the discount rate.

Luggage will be transported from Havana and Cairo to Darton College and each of these motels in Albany. There are several other motels in this area. If you opt for one of these be sure it is close enough to one of those above to carry your luggage across. For a map of the Albany hotel locations, click here.

Food
TOSRV South has a long reputation of providing great food and plenty of it. All menus are designed to meet most vegetarian and non-vegetarian needs and are prepared with nutrition in mind.

Registration
You have two options for TOSRV 2010 registration - self-service online and valet service.

Self-service: Register online with active.com.

Valet service: If you prefer, a manual registration form is included in the TOSRV brochure that will be mailed out in January and distributed to local bike shops. This manual registration form can also be downloaded here. Someone will pick up your application and manually enter your data for you. There will be a $5.00 fee for Valet registration service.

Registration closes on Wednesday April 14 2010. TOSRV will not accept walk-on registration on the day of the ride. Paper/Valet registrations received after April 15 or without the correct fees will be canceled. TOSRV South is capped at 500 riders, so don't delay. Registration begins in January, 2010.

Cost
TOSRV South is a bargain. The registration fee includes pre-breakfast, breakfast, and lunch on both days; plentiful rest stops; and a t-shirt. The standard and metric centuries are the same price. Children under 7 ride free.

The club bylaws require club membership for participation in all organized events. Special three-day membership at $5.00 is therefore part of the registration fee for non-members.

As an alternative to the weekend membership, you may join Capital City Cyclists as a full member and register for TOSRV at the club member rate. Click here for a Capital City Cyclists membership application. You may mail your club membership application and membership dues with your TOSRV registration form.

Sponsors
New sponsors this year are the Town of Havana and Darton College in Albany. And, as in years past, Cytosport, Inc., will be providing the sports drink at all of the rest stops.
