Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The Century... DEFEATED!

Riding a century has been my goal for quite some time. On Sunday's ride I was finally able to conquer the 100 mile ride. Thanks to perfect temps and light wind this ride was perfect and I was able to finish in 5 hours 21 minutes. Approximately 2,500+ feet of climbing and luckily no flats! Next century hopefully will be under the 5 hour barrier!
