The 2025 Glassner Autumn Challenge will be held on Saturday, October 18, 2025, based on the confirmation of the final 2025 ASU home football schedule. The ride supports Montgomery Bike Club Cycling Safety Classes, Cycling Awareness Activities, and Bike Month. Pick from your choice of seven routes: Closed Concourse Course (1/2 mile, Historic Neighborhood Ramble (5 miles), Cruisin' in the City (17 miles), Smell the Roses (35 miles), Fabulous Fifties (54 miles), Mad Metric Century (67 miles), or the Capital City 100 Century (100 miles). We will have our wonderfully redesigned routes back again for 2025 with our same stadium starting venue leaving from Alabama State University's new football stadium near downtown Montgomery and returning to Hope Hull, Pintlala, and Ramer in South Montgomery County..
Since 2019, the Glassner Autumn Challenge saw many changes with all new headquarters at the new Alabama State University football stadium plus completely re-designed routes. As the GAC is known for, Montgomery Bicycle Club members provided outstanding "radical Southern hospitality!"
Comments from the survey you were so kind to take:
* The organization, people and volunteers were amazing and probably one of the best event rides I have completed.
* The REST stops were amazing, I really appreciated all the volunteers and the food and snacks were excellent!
Your suggestions were well-accepted and appreciated too! For 2025 again, Directors Robert & Bonnie Traphan have consolidated ride headquarters, including breakfast, registration, lunch, and showers into one convenient facility with routes still starting from the Capital City of Montgomery. Back by popular demand, the routes will be streamlined and optimized to take riders back South to the beautiful and quiet country roads of Pintlala and Hope Hull of Southern Montgomery County. Be sure to follow GAC on Facebook, on Twitter, and on our website for updates.
Do you want to experience RADICAL SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY and FUN? The club members of the Montgomery Bicycle Club understand that no one understands the need of a cyclist better than your fellow cyclists. Club members proudly serve as your volunteers for the day to ensure your needs are met! No matter what distance you choose, you will be biking the beautiful, tree-lined, low-traffic rural roads of central Alabama with mechanical support, sag wagons, and themed rest stops supplied with plenty of fruit, light snacks, water, and sports drinks. The short routes offer gently rolling hills, while the longer routes offer moderately rolling hills. The routes will be clearly marked and will keep you on beautiful rural roads.
The ride will begin and end at Alabama State University where a delicious all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet will be served in the Hornets Lounge from 5:45 to 8:45 a.m. Cost of the breakfast is included in your registration. When you return be ready for some old fashioned southern hospitality - our famous tomato sandwiches, BBQ, Asian foods, ice cream, and more!
