| Solvang Century |
The very first "Solvang Century" was held in 1983 to raise funds for a club debt. In 1982, the SCOR Cardiac Cyclists Club sent 14 riders on a non-stop relay ride from the Avenue of the Stars in Century City to the Avenue of Flags in New York City in 12 days, 1 hour and 50 minutes. While most of the expenses were paid for, the bottom line was that SCOR owed $2000.00. Up until 1983 the primary club fund-raisers had been paper and aluminum can drives! It was clear that it would take a lot of newspapers and cans to raise $2000.00!
Instead, SCOR decided to take a club ride it had been doing in Solvang since 1975 and open it up to the public. The result was 300 riders and a ride was born. Although inexperienced in putting on rides, the ride worked well enough; 1200 riders came the following year! Since then the ride has grown to 3700 riders in 1998. A second venue was opened in Santa Maria in 1989. A half-century option was added in 1994 due to continued requests for a shorter route.
Over the years, SCOR has always striven to emphasize safety (we were one of the first rides to make helmets mandatory) as well as service. Our accident rate of one broken bone per 224,000 man-miles ridden in the last 19 years is lower than the accident rate training where you live, suggesting that you as a rider are safer in our rides despite the larger number of participants. The money we have raised goes to heart related projects, Camp Bon Couer, Make a Wish Foundation, Six TEAM SCORs in the Race Across AMerica (RAAM) Relay Division, the AXA World Team Ride and Camp Del Corizon on Catalina Island. |
