The year I rode it (1978, and I only made it through the first 50 miles), it was set up as sort of a figure-eight: The first fifty miles was a loop to the north, ending at the starting point, and the second fifty was another loop to the south, ending again at the starting point. If you make it through the entire century, you have climbed (and descended) more than 9000 vertical feet! Steve Wolf [hplabs, ihnp4]!hpfcla!woof
