About this event
2024 NFBC Century-A-Month Series
North Florida Bicycle Club offers and tracks a century-distance challenge. An award is given to all members who have completed at least one century a month for 12 consecutive months at any time since awards were last awarded. In other words, you do not need to start the challenge in January; you can complete the challenge within any twelve consecutive months.
The Century Challenge is a separate competition from the NFBC mileage competition.
Centuries may be ridden on non-club rides, club rides that offer a century option, or as part of a club ride extended to reach century status.
Starting in January, we are creating the 2024 NFBC Century-A-Month Series to increase interest in the challenge. Each month, we will hold at least one official NFBC Century Ride. The ride will be held on a weekend or holiday. While we may have A-pace riders, we will always offer a B-pace option. The Century Ride will include existing rides, including the New Year YOYO Ride, Jeanne’s Azalea Ride, Clyde’s Rides, and the Summer YOYO Ride. It will also include new rides.
The Century-A-Month Series is just an option for those who prefer to ride in groups. If you cannot attend a series ride, you can still complete the challenge that month by riding a non-club century or an NFBC Travel Team Century.
The
February ride of the series will be the
NFBC DOUBLE SMOOTIE CENTURY. This ride will depart at 7AM from Armstrong Park . It will go 20 miles to Publix Murabella by 8:30 AM. From 9AM it will join the regular 53 miles World Golf Smoothie Ride targeting to be back at Publix Murabella by 11:30AM. At NOON we will ride another 27 miles back to Armstrong Park. It may be dark at 7AM so all riders must have front and back lights.
Part 1: 7AM Armstrong Park to Publix Murabella 20 miles
Part 2: 9AM World Golf Village Smoothie Ride 53-mile route
Part 3: NOON Publix Murabella to Armstrong Park 27 miles (This does not go on Pacetti. Instead, it goes NW on 16 to 13 which eliminates 6 miles from the 53-mile route)
