Blazing Saddles is one of the earliest rides of the fall century season. Travel through the rural towns of Boston's North Shore and southern New Hampshire. Ride along beautiful rivers, lakes, salt marshes and bridges; past New England churches, town halls, and farms. The terrain includes rolling hills, long sunny flats, and rural roads. The nearby ocean provides cool breezes, trees provide plenty of shade in places, and the sun lends warmth on those open flat stretches.
Stop at one or all of our well stocked rest stops and enjoy after ride lunch/social gathering. Lunch includes, hot dogs, veggie dogs, pinwheels/roll ups, chips, and assorted beverages.
Feel confident knowing the security of SAG support and mechanics for minor repairs is readily available.

Charity Effort - Fifty percent of the Blazing Saddles Century net income is donated to bike related charities including Coastal Trails Coalition, East Coast Greenway, MassBike and Topsfield Rail Trail.
Routes for 2023 will be made available to registered riders prior to the event.
