Century means 100. With bikes it usually is a fun group ride that travels 100 miles(sometimes 100 kilometers which is sometimes called a metric century) Sometimes they are competive, but usually not. Also they are often for a carity.

At risk of feeding the trolls:
Tarck Century is 11 miles because that's as far any "tarck fixie hipster kid" has ever ridden their bike.
