    Where can I get details (eg. century over 2 days, double century,
    sponsorship, etc.)?

	Having done the ride in past years the ride originates
	at the Hampton Beach State Park which is on the south
	end of the beach I believe. I think they have 25,50,62 and
	100 mile routes. The century loop heads north into Maine
	turns around passes back by the park entrance 
	(the only checkpoint on the ride as I recall) and heads south
	to Plum Island then back.

	Because they have so many people who attend this one they 
	do the same rides on both days so the roads don't get to clogged.
	
	The route is very flat even flatter than R.I. but is sometimes
	windy since it's along the coast.

	It's a nice ride. Well worth doing.

Which day is it, the 23rd or 24th?  Does it overlap with the Tour de Cure route
any?

    I believe it is both days (do a double if you'd like!)

That's back-to-back centuries, not a double.
2998.7Registration infoMKOTS3::WTHOMASWed Aug 02 1995 17:1517
    Got hold of Dave Topham and here's some add'l info:
    
    Before 9/1 it's $10 (good for 1 or both days, mileage choices per Pat's
    note) for the ride(s) and (if interested) $8 for a T shirt.  From 9/1
    on, ride's $15 and the shirt is $10.
    
    For further details send SASE to:
    
    Granite State Wheelmen
    9 Veteran's Road
    Amherst, NH 03031
    They'll send a 2 page blurb and registration form.
    
    The ride is in its 22d year and has approx. 450 riders over the
    weekend.  Staggered starts, so I'm told.
