1st century completed!!!!
nothing special but here are the stats.
99.8 miles
6:59:10 Ride time
7000+ feet elevation climbed
Congrats! I rode the short loop (ride deets here: http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/2861729) and had a blast. The bagpipe at Winery Hill was cool, no? I thought it was a well organized and supported ride. Now I'm looking forward to Flying Wheels and then STP one day.

I took a picture of the bag piper on top of Winery hill. I agree that it was well organized but this was only my 3rd organized ride. I'll be doing flying wheels and STP as well this year.
