Cereal City Century in Battle Creek. 101.80 miles, 6:40 on the pedals, eight and a half hours all told. Soaking wet from start to finish but the people who organized it were so nice and the carb-loading dinner Saturday night was great. My wife stopped at 46 miles because of her knee and the couple we were riding with told me to go on ahead if I wanted. I just got tired of being wet so I did. As a matter of fact, my Garmin's altimiter also got tired of being wet so it stopped working. Those were some of the best hills, too!

The final leg was mostly a northbound loop into the wind. When I finally turned west, I almost cried a little. The final ten southbound miles were great...but still wet.
