Seacoast Century?

[dmaze]

100 (or less) pretty flat miles along the New Hampshire coast. The half, metric, and full century rides go up a little bit into Maine; the full century also dips down into Massachusetts. Last weekend of September (could be either Saturday or Sunday or both), $35, registration closes 31 August.

I have my eyes set on the CRW fall century the weekend before, but I could use another T-shirt, and this is almost certainly an easier ride; if there was interest in riding this one socially I'd be up for it. More details online.

Well, I haven't been on a ride longer than 25 miles this season, and it doesn't look like that will be likely to change. So yeah, it would be a lot of fun to go, but I probably couldn't actually manage to go that far...

Given that the full century, but not the other rides, starts with the loop down to Newburyport, one possibility I was thinking of was starting the full century, then stopping back at the start area and picking up a group that wanted to only do the half. We'd split up again in Kittery.

There's also the quarter-century option, but it's an awful lot of overhead for a 25-mile ride, and I'm kind of partial to the loop through New Castle, which that skips.

Hmm. Maybe I'll take a day off work and see how far I can go without adverse consequences. Will get back to you if anything seems possible.

If you ever do take a day off work for biking and need a water/bathroom stop in Waltham, feel free to give me a call.

I would love to do the Seacoast Century again. Unfortunately, I haven't touched a bike at all this summer.

Wait, when did you do the Seacoast?

Consulting the T-shirt, which happens to be right here, I can say with confidence: 1999.

I participated with two math grad students. And then got a leg cramp 15 meters from the finish line and fell off my bike :) I was able to hobble across the line.
