New England Centuries

"Near" New England centuries, as technically New York and New Jersey
aren't in New England but are close enough for me to drive there.

Bob M said:

Anyone know of an online source telling when and where centuries will be
this year in New England (nearer CT the better)? I googled and found
some old webpages but nothing that's been updated for a while. I know
of the two Sound Cyclists events (one's a "metric" century), and will be
riding both, but I'd like to throw in another century or two in there.

Thanks!

On www.suburbancyclists.org, click on "Non-SCU Calendar." Our webmaster
does a wonderful job of keeping track of and listing events in the
general Mid-Atlantic and near Northeast, including NY, NJ and
Connecticut.

Is eastern PA (near Philadelphia) too far? I think that SCU gets riders
from Conn down to Virginia for its two big rides, the Quad County on
May 1, and the Lake Nockamixon Century on August 28. My other club,
Central Bucks Bike Club, www.cbbikeclub.org, likewise gets riders from
all over for its Covered Bridges ride in October.

All three rides are over beautiful terrain, and both clubs do an
excellent job of support. --Roy Zipris

No, Eastern PA isn't too far. Thanks for the links.

Check out the Narragansett Bay Wheelmen <http://www.nbwclub.org/>
"links" page, they have tons of clubs/orgs web sites listed, many of
those show organized centuries on their event calendars

Hey Bob,
Check out the Sevenhills Wheelmen site. We do a century in June
aroung the Quabbin Resevoir and one in October for the Major Taylor
Association.Both of these are in MA. There are some good links on the
site for other bike groups also.

I liked some of the rides on the NBW site.

Hey while we're at it let me add my rides in :-) CJBC, Saturdays 8 AM,
Thompson Park, Monroe NJ (NJ TP 8a). Starting in May (2nd Saturday).
No sag, no bike shops near by, but we'll do a century. I'll do at
least 2 a month through October. November I trim back to Metrics. You
only need to be a member and I have several Centuries (not the same
one over and over). I'll be working on a few more this year and a
double Metric (~130 miles).
