Grand Tour Lite (unsupported) – Century

Distance: 95 miles and 2500 feet of elevation gain (barometric)

The full century and the metric century are much the same except that this full century adds an extra loop in the Oxnard area. Both start off by heading up the coast on PCH all the way to Point Mugu. They then head west to Port Hueneme. Here this full century splits off for a loop taking you north almost to Ventura and then looping around the Oxnard area and returning back to Port Hueneme. Here it rejoins the metric century route for the return trip back down the coast to the start. As you can see by the profile, almost all the climbing is in the hills along PCH both on the trip up and the return (approximately 1000 feet of gain each way).  The profile makes it look worse than it is – note that none of the hills along PCH get much over 200 feet above sea level.
