[ny biker]

I have a couple of rides to contribute to on this thread:

The Ball and Chain Century July 21, 2013: The event features three courses: 42 mile, 60 mile metric and 100 mile century routes, starting at the Mid Del-Mar-Va Family YMCA in Salisbury, MD.

I just got an email from Terry -- registration is open for the Wild Goose Chase Tour. IIRC, this ride will sell out pretty quickly.

Updates on some other rides --

The Civil War Century is closed -- they hit their maximum last month.

Registration is open for the PPTC Backroads Century on Sept 22. This ride usually sells out in advance. Do not wait if you want to do this ride.

The Bay Country Century is on Saturday, August 31, which is Labor Day weekend. It's in southern Maryland. I've never done this ride but am probably going to do it this year. I've done club rides that were based on the route used by this century and the area is really nice. Not many details have been posted yet for this ride, but the website is here.
