I have to admit I was pulled 75% of the way by some very strong " Triple crown riders" from the "BicyclING" forum but still am very proud of myself. I had enough energy to put on two 25 mph sprints after 90 Plus. Of course the strong riders chased me down without sweating a bit but it ws great fun. The Medone performed flawlessly as iy has all year. Next Century I might even pull a mile or two!
Congratulations!! That's a terrific ride!! Here's hoping for many more safe rides!! What a way to kick off retirement!
