The tradition continues. For 44 years, May in New York has meant the Montauk Century bicycle ride. Our riders enjoy bike-friendly low-traffic routes, beautiful back road scenery, and views of the water.

We offer two check-in points: Penn Station in Manhattan and the LIRR station in Babylon, Long Island.

We offer three start lines with route distances of 65, 100, and 145 miles. All routes end in Montauk where you can get a free hot meal, free shower, free massage, and transportation home for you and your bike.

On Montauk day, you can pack a bag with a change of clothes. We'll put your bag in our private truck so it will be waiting for you when you get to Montauk.

On our 65-mile route, you can choose an optional escorted ride with trained 5BBC leaders – perfect if this is your first long-distance ride.

On our 145-mile route, we offer an optional two day Montauk weekend mini-vacation if you'd rather not ride this distance in one day.

We still have the best S.A.G. support in the U.S., in case you need help along the way.

To help get you ready for Montauk, we offer a series of free training rides.

You can be a volunteer for the Montauk Century, and ride for free.

Any questions? Like where do I check in? When do I have to be there? Where do I get Montauk jerseys and T-shirts? We've got the answers to these questions and other things you need to know on our details page.

And we’re off! Registration for Montauk is open and ready to serve you.

To get the most out of your ride, you're invited to an informational meeting on all things Montauk, Thursday May 8, 7 to 9PM, at the hostel.

• Updated info: both return transportation and Montauk merchandise are in short supply and are in danger of selling out. If you need return transportation, or would like to buy a jersey or T-shirt for pickup at the finish line festival, please order these now!

The Montauk Century. The tradition continues. The Montauk Century, sponsored by the Five Borough Bicycle Club, is the only Montauk ride with a 44-year tradition of excellence.
