This is one of the best run events I’ve ever participated in. They make even slow guys like me feel like pros. All intersections have police officers to keep riders safe, Lots of dedicated rider lanes. I attempted the full 102 miles in 2025 and had to pull the plug at mile 98. Currently my plan is to do the Metric century (62 miles) and work on getting done in 4 hours or less. But, I reserve the right to change strategies and go for the 102 miler again. Stay tuned.
