Mark your calendars!  Sunday, March 22, 2026 is the first Sunday after spring equinox, and that means only 1 thing, the reliably scheduled Maumee Valley Wheelmen Reliability Challenge!

Due to the very high temperature and humidity forecast for tomorrow evening, we may shorten the event.  That will be a race-time decision.
