Sanctioned? By who? LAB isn't sanctioning any centuries in the sense
of setting rules (or taking responsibility). USCF/USAC wouldn't permit
power assist of course, but they don't have many clubs applying for
permits for 100 mile TTs - most such TTs are 40 kilo or so.
I'm guessing any fund raiser would take anyone with an entry fee and
just disregard them for any distance based prizes. I doubt that too
many of the LAB clubs I've done events with would turn them away -
they would probably just tell them to ride responsibly. Of course,
since there are few closed course centuries, your choice is to accept
them or have them along unofficially. You can keep them out of your
feed areas, but you can't keep them off the course.
