Just letting you all know that I did my first century ride yesterday-101.75km.YIPPEE!
The only dampner on the whole day was,I cycled for about 1km. with a guy who did "loop the bay" two weeks ago and he did 250km. in one day(bugger).He was in his mid to late twenties and I'm 59 so that's not to bad.
