First Century of the Year, Done!!

So I did my first century of this year....104 miles...I was on my own but got with a few packs that were coming by..some I could hang with and some not. I was also riding my new Toupe saddle (About a month old) I was pretty happy that it or better I made it through the ordeal....about 75 miles my avg went down a bit but came back in the last 20...it could have been wind or just me lol...

All in all I was happy with the experiance....glad I got it over with early (for me)..looking forward to more to come....

I did have one flat but the support crew was all over me with a pump and help....

I rode it at the Space Race in Texas....great ride if you get the chance....it did rain for about 1/2 of it...still good though....

Oh and the best part was the 9000 calories I burned....that helped out with dinner at Fogo De Chao...

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.
