I started out to do the Mt. Tam century. Very early on, I hooked onto a fast paceline. I just put my head down and kept pumping my legs to keep up, so I didn't pay attention to the route. So, at about mile 30, I asked, "When do we hit Mt. Tam?" After they fell off their bikes laughing, they let me know the turnoff for Mt Tam was 15 miles back. Well, guess what, the paceline was on the Marin Century, not Mt. Tam.
Oh well, it was still a beautiful day and wonderful ride. The weather was foggy to start, then turned pretty warm in the afternoon. Scenery was good, route was good, food and support were great. It was probably the best century I've ridden, considering all the factors. The best part was the Haagen Daaz (sp?) ice cream bars at the end. That made the 100 miles worth it!
I'm pointing for this one again next year!
Tprevost: Nice to run into you again. I won't tell the folks where I saw you lurking about (tee hee).
