Century Challenge

Bikes Not Bombs’ Century Challenge Ride - Challenge Yourself to Go Further!
Join BNB for our Century Challenge Ride - a long-distance fundraising ride that celebrates the best components of cycling in New England, without the crowds or high fundraising commitments of other charity rides.

The Century Challenge is a low-key, semi-supported ride with two staffed rest stops (one on the 63 mile route, two on the 105 mile route) and a roving mechanic for support; plus suggested cafe, water, and bathroom stops along the route for you. Rise to the challenge on October 4th!

FREE Registration until July 14th!

Use the promo code EARLYBIRD at checkout when you register to ride today!

What’s Included?

Your small registration fee covers the costs of putting on the event, while every dollar raised goes towards funding our local and global programs. Riders who raise $1,500 before ride day will receive a custom long-sleeved jersey! We'll have these delivered directly to you, just in time for fall cycling in New England.

Why Ride?

  • Ride with like-minded cyclists on some of the best roads for cycling in the Boston area with our tried-and-tested routes.
  • Riders who raise $1,500 before ride day will receive a custom long-sleeved jersey.
  • Bragging rights: you conquered a 'Century Ride!'
  • You'll be contributing to a great cause, positively impacting lives locally and globally, without the high fundraising minimums of other cycling fundraisers.
  • Your fundraising efforts contribute directly to our work locally and globally. Because of riders like you, we’re able to:
    • Advocate for safe and equitable transportation options in Boston;
    • Ship 1,500 bikes to our partners in the Global South; and
    • Empower 30+ young people in Boston as paid Youth Apprentices, giving them a foundation for economic mobility.
