  • Comments: Atlanta area's best organized ride. Only complaint was that my registration bag was labled for a Large t-shirt, but they threw in a Medium. Too bad, because it was a really nice tech shirt. The wife now has it.

  • Comments: My riding club (Covington/Conyers Cycling Club) was a sponser of this event and we assisted by raising funds, supplies, painting routes, etc... Both of my teenage sons and myself were involved in the process and I am glad it turned out well. Next year I hope to ride the entire 100, health and fitness permitting.

  • Comments: Good SAGS - lots of volunteers and *something* available to eat at each one, but they'd do well to be a bit more deliberate about some of the menu items. I concur with others who noted that a lot of the food was simply sugar-laden junk. And yes, if the weather forecast is calling for "muy caliente," how about stock-piling some ice for the late SAGS? Nothing like drinking warm Heed, Gatorade, and/or water, eh? Also, some Uncrustables or hand-made PB&J's (it's actually pretty easy to produce hundreds of sandwiches) would've been well-received by the Century rides late in the game too. Still, the Project Adventure Kids volunteers did a great job of trying to do whatever they could to make the ride a good one. Epic Bikes and other support vehicles were VERY evident and did a great job of helping people out as needed.

  • Comments: The volunteers were great. It was frusrating that the sag stops did not have anything but junk food, a pb&j would have beeen great and they were out of Ice at many of them, which happened to be at the latter miles when it was stupid hot out. I did not get a t-shirt even though I paid 35$. he roads were nasty in spots, and there was a section that was not even paved, although next year it will be.
