Cape May century out & back ride — 121.56 mi
You're looking at nearly 122 miles out and back on all pavement, with about 1,148 ft of climbing spread across the ride. Expect moderate traffic on the way out and back—roughly 45% exposure overall—but the distance and time commitment (nearly eight hours) mean you'll want to fuel up strategically and pick a clear-weather day.
Cape May century loop ride — 100.67 mi
You're heading north on pavement for a solid century-plus loop with about 454 ft of climbing spread throughout—nothing steep, just rolling terrain that'll keep you honest. Expect a fair amount of traffic on the connecting roads, so stay sharp on the busier stretches, but you'll log serious miles at a steady pace. Out to the turnaround and back the way you came.
