Ready-Set-Go!

Check-in points are at Penn Station and the LIRR station in Babylon. All routes end in Montauk where we'll be serving up hot meals and showers. Transportation is available to get you and your bike home.

Transportation is available for you and your bike!
Your choice of three distances:
65 miles • 100 miles • 145 miles Your choice of two check-in points:
Manhattan • Babylon, LI
Great rest areas • Full S.A.G. support • All routes end in Montauk
Hot meal, hot showers and free gift!

The tradition continues. For over forty years, May in New York has meant the 5BBC Montauk Century bicycle ride.
Our riders enjoy bike-friendly low-traffic routes, beautiful back road scenery, and views of the water.

We offer 2 check-ins: Penn Station in Manhattan, and the LIRR station in Babylon, Long Island.

We offer 3 start lines with route distances of 65, 100, and 145 miles. All routes feed into each other, and end at the
same finish point in Montauk, where we provide a free hot meal (vegetarian option available), a hot shower and optional transportation home for you and your bike.

Many of our riders will choose to ride at their own pace, but we also offer group rides escorted by trained 5BBC leaders.
We have a 65-mile relaxed-pace (12-13 mph) group -- perfect if this is your first long-distance ride. And, if you would like
to pedal the entire 145-mile route but would rather not try to do it in 1 day, the 5BBC offers an optional two-day Montauk Century weekend mini-vacation.

Throughout our entire event, the 5BBC still has fabulous S.A.G. (Support and Gear), in case you need help along the way.
We have fully stocked start locations and five rest stops along the way with the best food and volunteers you can find!

To help get you ready for the annual 5BBC Montauk Century, we also offer a series of free training rides.

Finally, an event like ours takes lots of work and help. Would you volunteer to help us with the 5BBC Montauk Century?
You may be able to ride for free.
