Cream City Century & Wright Stuff Century
It's not too early to think about your August and September riding schedule.
I know in years past this has been a relatively popular ride for the BFNICers. Maybe you want to divest yourself of your new racing obsession for a pleasant century instead! This was the first century I did ever and it is a great route with just the right amount of hills and some decent scenery.
Who's interested? I think Smokin' Miles should attempt it on her new fixie!

Mileage isn't posted, but I know there is a metric, century, and probably a 30 miler.

The Cream City Cycle Century is a GREAT century for anyone who has never done a whole century.
It goes through ever-changing scenery, it's not too hilly, five rest stops (at least the old map I have shows five), and they feed riders at the end.

Yup, century start is 7-8am.
If you run into someone on a Raleigh Marathon (modernized), that's me, say hi!

Oh, smokin the Cream City is great. Lots of long stretches with no stops, scenery, a couple of smallish hills and great rest stops with real food and sandwiches. I still think you could have done CC.
I know you want to do WSC - it's in hill country! You love that.
