In 2009, Salisbury University celebrates the 21st annual Sea Gull Century on Saturday, October 10. A 100-kilometer (64 miles) or 100-mile ride, the Sea Gull Century is a “Best Bicycling in America” event that has been named among the top 10 century rides in the nation by Bicycling magazine. The Ride Magazine has called the century “one of the prettiest big rides in America.” The Washington Post has named it “by far the most popular local century” in the Maryland-Delaware-Virginia region. Starting and ending at SU, the Sea Gull Century began 20 years ago when a group of 68 cycling enthusiasts banded together to develop a 100-mile century ride. Now, some 6,000 cyclists come—some of them year after year—because of the terrain, the challenge, the food, the entertainment, the chance to explore a new area and the hundreds of friendly volunteers who make the Sea Gull Century happen.

NEW THIS YEAR

Start and Finish Locations:

SU is excited to expand its campus with a new home for its Perdue School of Business. Construction will be underway at the time of the ride and will affect our starting and finishing line. The ride starts on the east side of campus near the corner of Bateman and Wayne streets, and the ride finishes on the campus Mall on the western side of Henson Science Hall. Look for a detailed map in the registration packet.

New Rest Stop:

The Milburn Landing rest stop is now replaced by a stop at Nassawango Golf Course. A comparable distance, Nassawango Golf Course is set on the banks of the Pocomoke River. Take a stroll around through the cypress trees of this Eastern Shore hidden jewel. Look for updated cue sheets in the registration packet.

New Wine Tasting Optional Ride:

Spend your Sunday enjoying a leisurely ride to Bordeleau Vineyards and Winery. See Optional Rides for details
