Mission Tour: The Mission Tour winds through historic neighborhoods and touches four Spanish Colonial Missions located along the San Antonio River. The route can be adjusted to meet cycling skills. The Mission Tour riders use dedicated bike lanes/paths and tour in small guided groups. Restrooms and water are available at registration and mission sites. Touring all missions creates a 17 mile ride.

The performance route is primarily flat and utilizes city, state, and county roads through the mostly rural Southside. Endurance 48: The 48 mile endurance route circles Calevaras Lake and provides a shortened "back door" alternative allows riders to shorten the Metric Century. The Endurance Route is primarily flat and utilizes city, state, and county roads through the mostly rural Southside.
