Doing the TriState Seacoast Century. Posted a Trips & Events forum post about it in case any one else is doing it that has not checked that forum. Flat as a pancake. Just hoping for low winds and I should be able to effortlessly spin and fly most of the way given what my regular routes are around here!

My wife and I do this ride every year. We go with a big group of mostly AMC Connecticut people but others too. Not too sure about this year yet since we're trying to schedule a bike trip in Spain around the same time.

This is a very flat century, the flatest I know of. It's even flatter than the Naragansett Bay Wheelmen's "The Flatest Century in the East" .

Like you mentioned the wind on the way back can be an issue though. Even with the wind we usually average over 19mph on this one.

Will you be there to catch any stages of the Vuelta? Where is your trip? Basque country and/or Catalonia?

We'll arrive after the tour. Looking to go the week of Sept 22-29.
Catalonia region.
Doing a self tour through http://www.creativecatalonia.com

I've got mixed feeling about Spain now because of the Vuelta snub to Team Radio Shack. They're protecting their hometown hero 's chance at winning (Alberto Contador) by not allowing one of the most competetive teams to race!

Half a century today! Well, almost. Close enough. 48+ miles in 2:45:00 for an average MPH of 17.4 with a total of 2700' vertical gain. I think I could do two of those in one day given a big enough rest period at this point. Still plenty of time to keep building. 10%+ a week gets me to 75% by the end of July. This coming week is a rest week, though. Off to Florida for a company meeting (Meh! My second least favorite state in the country behind Ohio) so I get a rest week as a reward for my new mile stone.

Then you could easily do a century at 15.5 ish mph.
