Century Challenge, 100 miles. Are you an experienced rider looking to conquer new territory? Climb nearly 6,000 feet while completing a full century through charming towns and beautiful countryside that takes you into and around Harriman State Park.

Ride any of the four routes at your own pace or join one of our paced rides led by experienced New York Cycle Club leaders. You can also start early and try your luck following local racing teams on the 100 - mile journey.
