The USPP 2006 Century Ride was held on September 10th, 2006.

The weather was great. The day started in the 50s and cloudy but as the day went on the clouds went away and a light wind from the north kept us cool. The temperature never quite got to 70.

Fran and Neil Toombs mapped out a great route for us based on a century that the club did in 1993. Fran graciously and capably drove the sag wagon carrying a wonderful selection of snacks, fruits, and beverages.

We had 16 riders on 14 bikes. Two tandem teams account for those numbers.

We started about 8:15 AM and the last riders completed the course about 4:30 PM.

Some photos from the century follow with the details of the route at the bottom of the page. One of the highlights of the ride was the Russian Orthodox monastery near Jordanville, NY.

Other dimensions of the route can be examined by looking at the graph and map created by Peter Paluch from data collected by a GPS device that he wore strapped to his wrist during the ride. Many thanks to Peter for creating these wonderful images.
