Cycling in Rhode Island: Terrain & Route Overview
The Ocean State may be America's smallest state, but it packs breathtaking maritime scenery into every mile of a century ride. In Rhode Island, a 100-mile route can take you past the Gilded Age mansions of Newport along Ocean Drive, across sweeping bridges overlooking Narragansett Bay, and through serene, stone-walled colonial farm country in the western interior. Coastal breezes keep summer temperatures pleasant, and the terrain is predominantly rolling and accessible, making it an excellent location for both beginner and veteran century riders. Popular organized rides like the Flattest Century in the East (shared with Massachusetts) draw riders from across New England. Conclude your ride with fresh Rhode Island clam chowder and ocean views for an unforgettable coastal cycling experience.
Terrain Characteristics: Atlantic coastal beaches, Narragansett Bay inlets, historic Newport mansions, and gentle rural woodlands.
Riding Season & Weather: May through October.
