First Metric Century!

Just got back from the "Spring Fever" ride in Sulphur Springs, Texas, where I did my first-ever Metric Century. And yes, my legs are tired. And no, I didn't win the race. (It's actually a race, but that only matters for the fast people in front, otherwise, it's just a ride). 66 miles, about 4:50 total time. (Edit: Checked the speedometer just now, it shows 4:30 ride time, 14.7 mph average speed). With all the cookies and stuff at the rest stops, I'm not sure if I lost weight or gained it in the process. The course wasn't too hilly, but had some long barely-sloping areas coupled with winds that were enough to slow me down on a good bit of the course.
