Gravel Century 101

  • Main Street Bicycle Co 201 East Main Avenue Zeeland, MI, 49464 (map)

Got your eye on completing a century? Been building miles but 100 seems like a big number? This is the event for you- Join us for Century 101!

We will have a 33-mile route that you will ride 3 times. Laps will start and end at the shop. The route will be mostly gravel with some paved sections. We will have an aid station set up at the shop where you can leave your nutrition, extra gear, and get mechanical support if needed. We will have Skratch hydration mix and clear water available. You must bring your own nutrition/food for the ride.

You also have the option to do 2 laps to complete a metric century (100 km).

We will start at 8:00am from the shop. The shop will be open before we start and through out the day for any needs that come up.

We will have route and pace group information available soon.

We will have food available after the ride (more information to come on this).

Look for a blog post before the ride with lots of good information on being prepared for a long ride.
