For 2012, the Five Borough Bicycle Club (5BBC) has changed the Montauk Century to a looped route configuration. Yes that’s right, we are going to start and finish in the same location. We’ve kept the same back roads you love, while adding quiet and scenic byways north of Montauk Highway on the return. It will now run from Hampton Bays to Montauk Point and back in 65-mile, 100-mile, and 125-mile routes. Our new 65-mile route will still feature the beloved Dune Road segment, while the new 100- and 125-mile routes will once again venture out to the iconic lighthouse at Montauk Point. All routes converge and head on to Sag Harbor for everyone to enjoy its stunning views. Two things will remain constant: our friendly volunteers and our legendary SAG support. This is what makes the 5BBC Montauk Century so special and enduring: cyclists helping other cyclists! Someone has always got you covered. If you are checking in at Penn Station, you will need to purchase our transportation package, which includes round-trip transportation for you (by train) and your bicycle (by truck). The LIRR will not permit bikes on trains on May 20th. Online registration closes May 15th. You can, however, register at check-in on May 20th. Cash-only price will be $125 at Hampton Bays and $150 (including round-trip transportation for you and your bike) at Penn Station. The 5BBC warmly invites you to join us for a great Montauk Century in 2012. Click here for tour day details. Click here for Montauk Century merchandise.
