BRBC is partnering with Louisana State Parks for the Fall Century


BRBC is partnering with Louisana State Parks for the Fall Century, Sunday 11 October from Centenary College in Jackson (4 blocks north of LA-10 on LA-952).

We have rest stops at Audubon State Park (Oakley) and Rosedown which have tours availalbe (and are included with the ride), plus two more traditional SAGS's and a roving SAG.

Port Hudson will have a Civil War cannon demonstration at 12:00 after the ride. Quarter, Half and Metric century routes have time to tour each of the parks, and still make it back to Centenary for a the traditional BRBC post ride meal.
