Century Rides in Ohio
The comprehensive 2026 directory of 100-mile centuries, metric centuries (62 miles), and endurance cycling tours across Ohio.
Cycling in Ohio: Terrain & Route Overview
Ohio boasts a deeply ingrained cycling heritage and one of the nation's most extensive networks of paved multi-use trails and scenic rural roads. In the southeast, the unglaciated foothills of the Appalachian Plateau deliver steep, punchy climbs and winding ridge roads around Hocking Hills. In the north, flat routes glide along the shores of Lake Erie through fruit orchards and coastal marshes. Central and western Ohio offer pleasant, rolling farmland through tranquil Amish communities. Major century rides like the Pelotonia in Columbus and the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure highlight the state's incredible cycling camaraderie and community spirit. With smooth county roads, dedicated cycling clubs, and welcoming small towns, Ohio is a fantastic heartland century destination.
Terrain Characteristics: Appalachian foothills in the southeast, Lake Erie shorelines, and central rolling farmland.
Riding Season & Weather: May through October.

Jerry's Jeromesville Journey
π May 23, 2026Jerry's Jeromesville Journey has been a traditional club century ride (100 miles) for over 30 years. The northern half (in Lorain County) is mostly flat. The terrain starts to give way to some rollers as you get into Ashland County, and a tough one comes just outside Hayesville. The ride home gets easier (if that's possible in a century) as you get farther north. The route loses altitude as you make your way toward Oberlin.
