I wish I had found this sport 30 years ago. I kinda thought it was a bit stupid and boring. I didn't realize how social and it is.
I have this strange desire to try Cyclocross. Don't expect to be any kind of a contender, but all the videos make it look like some grueling fun! I must be nuts.
Wow!
That is a great ave for a century and you only started riding in February. With your strength and endurance why not try cyclocross!
As long as you don't put yourself in a position of "too much, to soon" you will be riding even faster in 2010.
