On August 27, 2005 North Shore Cyclists will sponsor their annual Blazing Saddles Century... I've done this one and it was pretty decent. Relatively flat, if memory serves. T-shirt was a crack-up

Rider limit = 500

Here's one for you.
The Kings tour of the Quabbin. There are also other centuries listed for 2005.

There is also the Flattest Century in the East in September but you have to register now since it fills up fast.

I had already posted this elsewhere, but in the interest of keeping Northeast centuries in one place (thanks Spazz!) I'll add it here too.

The Granite State Wheelmen have an awesome century the weekend of September 24th & 25th. It runs along the New Hampshire & Maine coast, and it's interesting in that you can sign up for Saturday, Sunday, or both. (The same rides are offered both days.) The other thing that I really like about it is that there aren't mass start times. You can start the ride at anytime - I think after 7 in the morning - as long as you are done by 5. I wasn't able to ride this one last year, but I have done it a couple of times, and I think I'll ride it this year too.

If you're interested, the information page (and link to registration) can be found at http://www.granitestatewheelmen.org/...C-HomePage.htm.

Our bike club has its annual century on Saturday, 9/10/05. We leave from Cape Able Bike Shop in Kennebunkport, ME at 7 am. There is no sign up, no fees. We will have people sign in so we can keep track of who is on the road.

The ride goes from Kennebunkport to Wolfeboro (Lake Winnepausakee (sp??) and then returns. There is a store at the 25 mile and 75 mile point and places in Wolfeboro (mile 50) to get food for lunch. We have one support van that will assist riders but everyone needs to be fairly self-sufficient by carrying extra tubes, cell phone, money.

There are some decent hills coming and going.

There is a map posted on the club's web site www.mainecoastcycling.com and a cue sheet will be available on the morning of the ride.

Denise, Spazz, and anyone else:
Do you know which day(or both) you will be riding the seacoast ride?
I am thinking about coming up for it, and would love to finally meet all or any of you.
