The Firecracker was first lit in 2017 by Chris Way. He graciously allowed me to help that year and to oversee it since.

Ride out at 7 AM on July 4th to beat the heat!

PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON THE SPRINGFIELD BREWING COMPANY PARKING LOT - there's a free parking garage that you enter at Campbell & McDaniel (409 W McDaniel)

Tempo (ride at your own pace)

40 mile, unmarked route. You must know the route or ride with someone who does.
A self-supported ride, so have your own nutrition & hydration and a well maintained bike. There are convenience stores along the route.
