Century Challenge Group Training Ride [8/23/26]
Getting ready to ride in our Century Challenge? Join us for two group training rides!
Ride with BNB and Brothers on Bikes on our relaxed, no-drop rides as we get ready to tackle the century rides.
- When: Sunday August 23rd
- Meet up: at Bikes Not Bombs at 9:00am
- Roll out: at 9:30am
What are we training for? The Bike-A-Thon Century Challenge on Sunday October 4th!
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. Registration coming soon!
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!

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. Our top fundraisers ($1,500+) will receive a custom long-sleeved cycling jersey!
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. You’ll be contributing to a great cause, positively impacting lives locally and globally.
Riders who raise $1,500 before ride day will receive a custom long-sleeved jersey!
Beyond bragging rights of saying you conquered a century ride, your fundraising efforts contribute directly to our work locally and globally. Because of riders like you, we’re able to:
- Refurbish and distribute used bicycles to those that need them the most;
- Advocate for safe and equitable transportation options in Boston;
- Ship 1,500 bikes to our partners in the Global South; and
- Empower young people in Boston as paid Youth Apprentices, giving them a foundation for economic mobility
