Madison century out & back ride — 100.56 mi
A 100-mile out-and-back on pavement with about 2,695 ft of climbing spread across the day. You'll spend a short stretch on busier roads to connect, but mostly roll quiet pavement heading out and back. At nearly 7 hours of riding, this one works as a full day push or two mellow days if you've got the time.
Madison century loop ride — 104.96 mi
A 105-mile loop on pavement with about 4,622 ft of climbing spread across the day, so you'll earn your distance. It's roughly seven hours of riding if you're moving, though plenty of riders break it into two easier days. A bit of traffic mixed in, but mostly on quieter roads between the busier connector stretches.
