Alexey,
I rode through 3 counties, then turned around and came back. My motivation is that I love to ride bicycles and seeing just what I can do on one. I started with 20 mile rides, then 40, then Metric Centuries and then Centuries. I plan on doing a group Centruy ride next month. The 2 I have done so far have been solo. Good luck on your Metric Century today! It's a long way to ride a bike!!! My riding buddy Pedaler is going out to do a 60 mile ride today and I 'm at home

due to the bee sting.
What is your motivation to ride the Metric today?
Later and have a good ride!!!
