The Sadistic Century is a fun and challenging road bicycle ride on hilly, smooth, quiet roads in Western Wisconsin.
Routes include 100 mile, 100 km, 60 km and 50 km lengths with three distinct rest stops mainly in Dunn County, Wisconsin (a short drive from Madison or the Twin Cities Area).
The Sadistic Century returns with renewed energy and purpose. Known for its grueling elevation gains, scenic rural routes, and fiercely loyal following, the event challenges cyclists to push their physical and mental limits, all while raising funds for a critical community cause. One hundred percent of the net proceeds from the event will directly support Stepping Stones of Menomonie, a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing homelessness and food insecurity in the Menomonie community. Through emergency shelter, transitional housing, and a food pantry serving hundreds of families each month, Stepping Stones provides essential services to neighbors in need.
The Sadistic Century is expected to attract road cyclists and endurance athletes from across the region, including triathletes seeking a premier late-season training ride. Multiple route options will be available to accommodate varying ability levels, though the full Century remains true to its reputation as one of the most demanding single-day rides in the area.

T-shirts are included in registration up until Aug 1. We serve a great meal with refreshments after the ride.
