Ok so umd has just put me in place. Lucky for me I did not post my thoughts ofter my ride.
SO this is my 2nd time riding the Solvang Century. Last year I joined up with a local team and we passed a bunch of riders.
This year I started at just after 7am and there were no fast groups to join.
Ended up riding with 2 other riders but I was by far the strongest.
I only stopped at feed station 2 and 4. With the early start, the last 40 min of the ride I was by myself with no one in front of me.
My claim to fame is I pretty sure I am the 1st person to finish the 2010 100 mile Solvang Century.
Next year I now to start later and wait for the fast groups.
I got into the finish at around 12:30pm
