Those were the people refueling at the rest stops!
Congratulations!!
As someone who has yet to ride 100 miles, I think you did well. Except for skipping the rest stops. But it sounds like you stayed hydrated, bonus points for that.
Your base work with climbing and longish rides no doubt helped you. I'm impressed that you put that much effort in training before the century. You're certainly off to a good start for the summer.
