After all of the good things I have heard, I am looking forward to it.
It's well run, and well supported. Just be aware that it's 30 miles before the first rest stop, and the last one is also 30 miles from the finish. Rest stops are at 30-50-70 for the century.
Despite the name, there's around 3000' of climbing. Almost all of it is rolling hills, with one short but steep hill, "Crapo Hill", on Quonapoag near the landfill, and a long, gradual climb out from the mouth of the Westport River. Depending on any changes, you get to zip down the 8% grade short hill on Hix Bridge Rd. in Westport.
