1 Week Until The 2005 NYC Century Bike Tour!
The NYC Century Bike Tour is easily New York City's best cycling tour. I did this tour last year and I had a blast. Unfortunately for me, I'm going to have to skip this year's tour because I'm having problems with the muscles in my neck (damn my skinny neck!)
Cyclists of all fitness levels can participate in The Tour as riders can choose from 5 different routes. If you are very fit, then you should certainly try the 100 mile route, which is the longest route. I had planned on doing the 100 mile route last year, but I didn't have top quality cycling shoes back then (it was that ride that prompted me to invest in some top quality shoes) so I was forced to quit @ the 80 mile mark, which cut out the Bronx portion of the tour. It really didn't bother me that much, as I had been living in the Bronx before I moved to Philadelphia, so I was quite familiar with it's sights.
If you have special dietary requirements, pack all the food you'll need. The tour offers some great snacks @ the rest stops (which as well spaced out) but you may find yourself in a bind if you are e.g. on a gluten-free diet as I am.
