- 8AC+/14.7101101.1101.10Coastal CenturyJason Ingargiola
It's one of the rides you look forward to all season long and its popularity continues to grow. It's the annual Coastal Century, an out-of-area century ride designed exclusively for SCBC. The distinctive, original course maximizes the scenery and minimizes the climbing (just 4,200 feet of elevation gain and only two big hills, both in the first 45 miles) as it winds clockwise through rural farmland, state forests and then the coastline communities from Old Saybrook to Guilford. Unlike other century rides, there's no registration fee and no reservation is required. But this is a self-supported ride and you're advised to pack some extra energy bars and bring $20 for food and drinks. Brief stops for fluids and snacks at miles 28 and 76. At mile 54 in Essex, we will take a full-length rest stop for sandwiches and your favorite sugary sweets. There is a bailout option at this point for an 80 mile route.
