The Montauk Century 2008

Save the date! The 44th Annual 5BBC Montauk Century is getting underway on May 18, 2008.

For decades, people who could be anywhere in the world, have chosen to be on Long Island’s fabulous South Shore! Who are we to disagree? Ride with us and experience the fabulous sights, sounds and smells of the fabulous Hamptons on your way to Montauk (“THE END”) ... and there’s no better way to do it than from the saddle of your own bicycle!

For 44 years, May in New York has meant the Five Borough Bicycle Club’s Montauk Century Ride. Over 4 decades of experience and over ten thousand satisfied riders make this the best ride anywhere. This ride includes terrific rest areas, low-traffic routes, beautiful back road scenery, views of the water, on-road rider support and transportation for you and your bike back to the City from Montauk! Each offers three distance choices: 65 (self guided or optional escorted), 100 and 145 miles. (By magic, all routes go over the same course and all riders ride at the same time). We have the finest cycle support anywhere outside of the Tour de France.

So feel free to challenge yourself! This is the flattest Century anywhere and the venue is without equal. Returning this year: fabulous food, rest areas, post-ride hot meals, shower trucks, masseurs, tee shirts, transportation back to the City….and more.

There’s only one MONTAUK CENTURY-- “THE BIG ONE” COME RIDE WITH US!
