Yeah.....we did a century on the same route for 6 straight weekends to build some base mileage. We had a surprisingly large number (30-60) to show for each one-many more than have done this in the past. This was the last of the 100 milers that have been planned. Coldest morning was 19 degrees and the warmest day was close to 70 degrees. We were really fortunate and missed any wet weather as well. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly my "riding" legs were able to come back. By the third week I felt like I had my legs from the summer. That was encouraging.
