Blood Sweat and Gears, aka BSG, celebrates 24 years on June 22, 2024. From humble beginnings, BSG has grown into the North Carolina High Country’s premier cycling event. Starting and finishing in historic Valle Crucis, home of the Mast General Store, BSG offers incredibly scenic views, epic climbs and some of the best cycling that North Carolina has to offer.

BSG showcases the mountain communities of Watauga and Ashe counties. We offer a very challenging 95-mile route and a 45-mile route that is shorter on mileage but still big on challenge. Both routes include epic area climbs. The 95-mile route features the famous Snake Mountain climb. More route details including map links and gpx file downloads are HERE.

The double century is a giant figure eight type route composed of two 100-mile loops (centuries). The start/finish and lunch are at the center of the figure eight at MOTEL 6. The 100-mile option is available for either loop. However, the first loop is a Great Beginners Century.

The second loop has about 3431 feet of total accumulated elevation gain, in which 1100 feet of climbing occurs in the first 13 miles of the 99 mile loop.

The double century has a eighteen-hour soft time limit. The double century riders can start between 3:30 AM and 6:00 AM. The double century closes at 10:00 PM soft limit, but completion is key and riders are allowed to get credit after 10 pm. No double century rider is allowed to attempt or start the second loop after 2:30 PM.

Single Century riders can start the first loop between 3:30 AM and 6:00 AM or they can start the second loop between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM.

Discover Denver Century Ride and let the good times roll! The founders of the Coldwell Banker Denver Century Ride believe that cycling is not just a sport but a way of life. We want you to discover urban cycling in Denver within a fun & enjoyable experience. That is why the Denver Century Ride explores the many diverse neighborhood streets of Metro Denver and supports cycling advocacy groups. Turn by turn, the Denver Century Ride connects cyclists to attainable urban routes for a casual cruise or a commute to work. Cyclists may be surprised to roll past Coors Field or find themselves turning past a horse property with a mountain view a few miles down the road. This is possible because of the connective routes throughout the city. Our beneficiaries all work in various ways toward enhancing the cyclists’ experience out on the road.
