What started out as a challenge to road riding enthusiasts has shaped into something much more powerful and beneficial. Originally, the goal of the Century Ride was to complete a 100 mile (or 160 kilometer) road ride throughout the Comox Valley. Then race coordinator Les Black decided that perhaps those who ride for their own health and wellness may be able to support those who are preoccupied with the critical health of someone they love. An extra challenge can been woven into the century ride: Can you ride 100 miles and Challenge yourself! Can you ride 100 miles? There are no trophies awaiting at the finish line, nor are there points for competitors or prizes for age categories. What there will be is other enthusi-asts, like yourself who seek challenging rides to keep fit and meet other riders who enjoy similar feats.
