# # What’s New for the 2026 Chippewa Valley Century Ride? 🚴‍♂️💨

Gear up, riders! As we prepare for the **40th Annual Chippewa Valley Century Ride** this May, our team has been hard at work behind the scenes. Whether you are a "Century" veteran or a first-time participant, we are rolling out several exciting updates to make your ride smoother, safer, and more enjoyable. ☀️

Here is a look at what we’ve been working on for you this year:

---

# # # 1. New Horizons: The Old Abe Trail 🌲
We are thrilled to announce that we are working closely with **Chippewa County** to incorporate portions of the **Old Abe State Trail** into our routes. This beautiful, paved trail follows the shoreline of the Chippewa River, offering a serene, car-free stretch of scenery that highlights the natural beauty of our region. 🛶

# # # 2. Park with Ease: New Bike Racks 🚲
Tired of leaning your pride and joy against a fence? We’ve invested in **brand-new bike racks** located at both the rest stops and the main fairgrounds. Now you can rack your bike securely while you grab a snack or head to the post-ride brat feed. 🌭

# # # 3. Safety First: GMRS Radio Support 📻
Clear communication is key to a safe ride. This year, we are upgrading our course support with **GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) radio capabilities**. This enhanced communication network will allow our SAG (Support and Gear) vehicles and rest stops to coordinate more effectively, ensuring help is never more than a radio call away. 🛠️

# # # 4. Better Wayfinding: Updated Signage 🪧
Getting lost is never part of the plan! We have revamped our **course signage** to be clearer and more visible. From the rolling hills of the 100-mile loop to the scenic stretches of the 35-mile route, our updated markers will guide you every pedal of the way. 🛣️

# # # 5. Gear Up: New Souvenir Items 🛍️
Check out our **new souvenir items**! All proceeds from these sales go directly toward fundraising for our new and updated ride equipment. It’s a great way to take home a piece of the 40th anniversary while helping us keep the ride safe and modern for years to come. 🧢

# # # 6. The Heart of the Ride: Our Volunteers ❤️
While many things are changing, the most important part stays the same: our **incredible volunteers**. You’ll see the same friendly faces at the rest stops and the finish line, ready with a word of encouragement, a cold drink, and that famous Chippewa Valley hospitality. 🥤
