Century Rides In the Midwest in the next month ?
I'm training for the DALMAC ride and have not completed a century yet and would like to in the next month. Due to Little League baseball I've missed the Holland 100 and the Kalamazoo Century. What's out there in the midwest between now and Aug. 20th ?
Any leads greatly appreciated.

I know this isn't in your stated time frame, but Findlay, Ohio (40 miles south of Toledo) has this nice century ride on Sept. 12th. Mostly country roads. Nice turn-out each year.
