Silver City Century

All of the rides on the Iowa Gravel Series are friendly to new and experienced riders; and Silver City is the perfect opener for the season. Not too hilly, not too flat, a few surprises, and an amazing community that loves cyclists and welcomes them everyday on the Wabash Trace.

We think Silver City is pretty special and we know you’re going to love the roads. So, come ride with us and start the season off with a great day in the saddle.

What people are saying

I haven’t raced in years, but this was one well-coordinated event! The navigation signs were awesome, the race director made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived at packet pick-up and the other racers were so friendly. And of course, you couldn’t beat the weather. I LOVED the course too–a mix of all types of roads. My favorite were the B roads – fantastic! Thank you to all of the volunteers!

Monica

This race was amazing, from the race director to all the volunteers that helped, I had a blast. Course was great. Fast and the weather was perfect!!

Brad

Well run event on all fronts – I see a lot of gravel setups and this is run like a top.

Adam

This race is so great! It is well organized, a great course with such a great variety of terrain, clearly marked, and has aid stations and the perfect spots!

Owen

I absolutely love gravel racing and honestly will take any opportunity to compete in a race close to where I live in Omaha. This 100k distance is perfect since it goes by fast for spectators and leaves most of the day for other weekend plans. Love the organization, stickers, atmosphere. Being the smaller rider, i would have liked more elevation and less long flat stretches’, but the B-roads were fun and you should for sure keep those.

Ian

Organization and route was excellent, same as all other Iowa Gravel Series events. Perfect distance with a challenging route. The timing stickers are my favorite that I’ve used for an event.
