a day on the bike

Did my first (and probably last) english century today. On my '89 waterford paramount so it's c&v related I guess! 100.8 miles, 15.4 ave. speed, 6.5 hours on the bike, 8 hours total ( I stopped at 3 convenience stores, 1 county park bldg., 1 coffee shop, plus a couple of pit stops).
The route I choose was fairly flat and rural for the first half, and pretty hilly for the second half. My right quad started to cramp at about ~85 miles, I sorta limped back home after that. I'm glad it's over and right now I don't want to do anything bike related, except watch the tour of course!
