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 and one aid station along the course. 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). And if you choose to do one lap we'll still cheer for you!

We will start at 9:00am from the shop.  The shop will be open before we start and through out the day for any needs that come up. 

A GPX file for the route can be found here - Century 101 Route (3x33) We will do 3 laps of this route (or 2 laps for a metric century). Good news-it's a nice and flat! If you have a gps computer you can download the gpx file or we will have cue sheets available to follow. ***The course will NOT be marked the day of the ride.***

New for this year! We will have more bathrooms available at the shop!!! (It's the little things in life, right?)
