Hi everyone

I have done the short ride on both the TFCE and the Granite state. The TFCE is fabulous, it goes along coastline sometimes. It is not TOTALLY flat, but is about 1500 total elevation gain for the 100 miles I think.

The crowd is big, but the thing is very well organized. There were police officers at every major intersection.

I rode 35 miles of it. One prob is theres nothing between 25 and 50, so I did a route someone suggested.

I am signed up for this year, I haven't committed to 100 miles, but I'd commit to 50. I'm willing to organize the trip down to this race if you guys want.

One problem is I think you really have to go the night before because the century leaves really early.
Only other things is that the food was skimpy and not very good--PBJ (yuck!) and oranges. This year I would bring more food. T-shirt gorgeous, you also get a fridge magnet.

As for the Seacoast, I only did a shorty right of this one. Its pretty but I arrived late and didn't really get the feel of it. Granite state bike club are VERY nice people. T-shirt was lousy.
