50 States 50 Centuries Archive

Between 1984 and 2013 I set and completed a goal to ride a century on a bicycle in every state. Normally a century is 100 miles, but some states and some events only allowed 100 km (62.5 miles). My final century was in Hawaii in January 2013.

On this page I plan to present 50 photos with links to 50 stories. Like the bicycling project, it will be a long-term effort. The blog archive (60 entries for bike touring from 2011 to 2017) is preserved above or at https://50centuries.blogspot.com/.
