Apparently I'm the tenth guy who had done this, per Strava
One loop is a shade under 2 kms. So that's almost a tidy 50 laps around. I can't imagine going 30 more for an imperial century.

I don’t know what’s more sad; you doing 50 laps of this, or 9 other people doing this for 50 laps faster than you…
Additional info: this is from Quezon City, the Philippines. We drive on the right side of the road here. The roundabout is five lanes wide I believe. The innermost lane is designated as the bike lane, but cars, trucks, buses, the occasional trash compactor and one mixer were having none of that.
Edit: rereading it – I’m actually 10th fastest to do so, not 10th to do ever
But why? The world has so many beautiful routes and paths, etc. Why do this?
In the US we’d call that a Metric Century – 100km /66-ish miles.
Century for maniacs
Hahaha best century in km I’ve seen you can say you’ve cycled pi 😂 and a century is a century no matter the route
If you are going to hide start and end points at least make it look like a perfect loop
You can turn this loop into an Everesting event. Just ride this 19.2 more times and you’ll climb 8848 meters of vertical.
Metric century.
Why are you like this?
What’s QC Circle stand for
>This counts as a century right?

In America we would call this a criterium and pay riders 1000 dollars to do this
Definitely a century. At least the loops was a couple of Kms long and you can work on your cornering skills (in one direction).
Did you at least switch directions half way through to avoid diziness and one-sided tyre wear?
