ABOUT
The BC Ice Cream Century is a great way to kick start summer. With a variety of route options, there is something for every skill level. We have partnered with some of the areas best ice cream shops to give riders a taste of sweet summer treats paired with country roads.
Each BC Ice Cream Century registration includes:
- A pair of custom socks
- Free menu items at each stop along the route (menu restrictions apply)
- A post-ride meal
Riders are given designated starting times based on their mileage chosen. To ensure the safety of the riders, each rider will be asked to check-in at each stop along the route.
SAG support is offered by both Cereal City Athletics and Mike's Team Active Bikes. SAG support is limited to bike malfunctions that render the rider unable to finish the course. It is not intended for riders who tire and decide to terminate the ride.

Check-In
No Helmet, No Ride
Road Rules
To keep track of the progress of all of our riders and for their safety, we require each rider to check in at each stop. If you are planning to not stop at a stop, you must let a volunteer know so that can be communicated to the volunteers and event organizers.
Volunteers will be at each station checking in participants.
If you will not be finishing the rider, you must also let a volunteer know.
If a rider misses a check-in and does not return to the finish within a reasonable amount of time, the participant will be contacted via the number given at registration. If we are unable to contact the participant directly, the emergency contact will be called. Don't make your friends or family worry, check-in!

It's that simple. Safety is a priority and we do not support cycling without wearing a helmet. Our volunteers have the right to ask for proof of helmet. If you are seen riding without a helmet we will ask you to discontinue your participation in the event.
