How many centuries has everyone done in their first year? We're impressed with ourselves, but I'm thinking doing multiple centuries in the first year is pretty common.
i did 5 centuries in my first 12 months of riding.... 2 of them included "epic hill climbs" (9,000 feet of climbing for one and 12000+ for the other) and one was a double metric....
but regardless of what i've done.... or what others have done.... you should be proud of what you've done!
