Yes, 1/8 of a Century (12.5 miles) - it was a nice ride before the cooler weather moves in this afternoon (South Florida) - I've lived here most of my life so 50 is frigid to me (lol)...

If I ever have to live in a cold and snow climate (I haven't since a child) I'm not sure what'll happen (I'd probably turn into a popsicle - grape flavor) - I've never driven on snow or ice, so again not sure how I'd manage...

Anyway, after being a moderate-speed (13-15 mph) ride leader for 15 years I fell off the pace, but I've been working my way back to my old metric century mileage - we'll see what happens but it's rough without anyone to ride with (Broward County), still I'm hopeful to be at least able to ride a 31-mile (50 km) ride without any trouble...

The local clubs are too fast for me right now (perhaps always will be - their "slow" rides start at 18 mph, and 15 was and is still my favorite heart-lung speed)...
