Tri-State Seacoast Century, September 20-21, 2008
Our 35th Annual Seacoast Century
Flat-rate registration:
One registration fee for the whole weekend! Ride Saturday, Sunday, or both days for one price. No need to ride in the rain if the other day is nice. Maybe do the whole Century on Saturday then take a shorter ride on Sunday before heading home. You asked for it, so we are doing it again - one fee covers everything! For more information please check the Details, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), and Map pages.

Registration:
$35.00 will
include both days and will be processed on-line by Active.com. A small
fee will be added for their services. Plans are well underway for our
35th annual Tri-State Seacoast Century on Sept. 20-21 with headquarters
again to be at Hampton Beach State Park. Format will be much like our
2007 event with rides of 25, 50, 63, and 100 miles being offered on both
Saturday and Sunday. Support services will include snack items, rest stops
available about every 25 miles, sag wagon, trip time log, and an event
T-shirt. Rides start at 7:00 a.m. (or later if desired - this is not a mass start ride) with all services
terminating at 5:00 p.m.
Registration closes on August 31. All registrations will
be accepted on-line only - no mail-ins or walk-ins. There is a limit of
1600 riders for the weekend.

Pre-Event Volunteer Ride Planned:
Volunteers are welcome to enjoy an unsupported ride of the Century route the Saturday before the event, September 13. The ride options are 17, 83 or 100 miles. The 17 & 100 mile rides will leave HBSP between 7:00 and 7:10 AM doing the Massachusetts section. The 83 mile and 100 mile continuation ride will leave HBSP 8:20 to 8:40 AM. If raining at HBSP then no ride. In 2007 the 100 mile ride was about 9 hours.
