Difficult

Santa Fe Century

Century Ride: Starts from the Century venue at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center (corner of St. Michael's Dr. & Hospital Dr.) in Santa Fe. The Ride Kits have detailed route maps with ride instructions and milages to the Food-Stops. All routes are carefully marked with signs along the entire distance.

This is a medium difficult Century with rollers, ascents and descents, but with a major stretch of flats and easy rollers. The 100 mile route has no convenient turn-arounds and since the first third is the more challenging, you should plan on riding the full 100 miles. In addition, there are three "out & back" rides and one ATB route.

Other Rides:
Out & Back: Starts from the Century venue 25, 50, & 75 miles "out & back" to Eldorado, Galisteo, and Stanley respectively.
One-Way: Starting from the Food-Stops: 79 miles from Madrid, 66 miles from Heart Break, 56 miles from Cedar Grove, 47 miles from Stanley, 25 miles from Galisteo. There is no transportation from the Century venue for these One-Way rides. You're on your own to get there.
50 mile ATB loop: Starting from the Century venue: 44 miles paved, 6 miles of country dirt road.
