Complete a Century Ride (100 miles)

Add to My List Check Off

Completing a 100 mile bike ride is a challenge that weighs on the to-do list of almost every cycling enthusiast. Somewhat comparable to completing a marathon by a runner, a Century is considered an endurance event requiring a good amount of training and fitness to be achieved. The popular events that are held around the world often emphasize the scenic beauty of the course and camaraderie of the fellow riders over the competitive aspects of the ride. Cycling coaches suggest that those considering a Century first demonstrate the ability to ride 25 miles (40K) comfortably before building toward the Century mark over a minimum of 12 weeks, incrementally adding distance. Covering such a milestone distance in the saddle of an appropriate road bike brings components into the formula such as the ability to change a flat, being prepared for inclement weather and nutrition and hydration along the way. Successful riders will have rehearsed these skills before attempting the 100 mile barrier the first time. Add the dream to Bike A Century to your list and pick a location where you can join fellow cycling enthusiasts in their quest to achieve one of their chosen sport’s benchmark achievements.
