Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Seacoast Century

I just rode in my first organized cycling event yesterday, the Seacoast Century! I wasn't quite ready for 100 miles yet, but I did finish the metric century route, which went from Hampton Beach State Park, New Hampshire, to York, Maine, and back.

The weather turned out great, despite worries that Hurricane Isabel would cause trouble. I really enjoyed the ride.

Was anybody else in these forums there?

I rode the full century -- my first -- today! The weather was absolutely perfect, and the route along the ocean in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts is stunning.

Anyone out there going to the Seacoast Century this year? I'm thinking about it; it would be my first organized ride outside of the Tour De Cure. I'm thinking about the metric century or the half century, and would love to have a group to attach to. Most likely, but not sure, I will participate on Sunday. My average for longer distances usually around 16.5 but last 50 miler, fairly flat, with some wheel-sucking, was 17.2.

Here's the link for anyone new: https://www.granitestatewheelmen.org/...C-HomePage.htm

P.S. I'll be driving up from upstate NY (about four hours)
