I did it! First metric century today. I could not believe it , but I did it. My original plan was to ride only 50 miles today , but after 55 I kind of felt like keep going. I think great weather in Midwest did help.

The biggest surprise - I feel less tired than last weekend when I did 42 miles...

Here is me and my bike after 100km - yes , fat guys can do centuries too!

Great ride. I may attempt something like that next winter.

By the way, your spoke count makes me nervous.
