First Century

Did my first Century today in 5:32. I need to make 100 miles a regular ride. Built allot of mental toughness today. Rode the all but 9.5 miles alone and no music. At mile 52ish I hit Rock Hall and the wind was bad thru mile 84. At mile 70 my legs got tight great Pain!! Remember 64 is my longest ride ever And that was last Aug. At about mile 74 I worked it out and felt great (legs still screaming till mile 100) and was like a horse going to the barn !!! Way to early. At 88 I realized the barn was still a long way out. It was tough to stay focused and keep the pace. I did pass a several bikers in the beginning before mile 26 and end of the the ride, witch did help.

Hooked up with a guy that was finishing the 62 mile ride about eight miles out and we work together to the end.

In conclustion I can wait to do it again!!

This course was great. Great roads and no traffic.
