A lot of work went into the 2007 NYC Century Bike Tour behind the scenes--and behind the boxes.

More than 500 volunteers dedicated their support to the ride!

Trek generously donated 150 bike helmets to give to riders who didn’t have theirs.

It was a beautiful day for a sun dress and sunglasses...

...or spandex.

Some rode the NYC Century in teams...

For others it was a family affair...

At the end it was all smiles and water, mostly water.

The cheering sections were amazing...

Everyone was glad to see Central Park again...

...and to greet the adoring fans...

...and to take a load off.

Smiles for miles

and more smiles and more miles.

After such a long day, everyone needs a rest, even the bikes.

A big thank you to all the marshals for assuring a smooth ride.

And of course a big thank you to the riders! See you on Sunday, September 7th, 2008!
