Today's century was kind of a kluge. The first 69 miles were on a group ride where we inexplicably kept speeding up to 18-20 MPH (not unheard-of for our shorter rides, but kind of dubious for a ~70 mile ride). I used my Bianchi Premio, sporting a new Brooks Pro. Despite my concerns about the shape, the only damage done was to my sitbones. One of the other guys in the group recently had his 80's Falcon restored, so I wasn't the only guy there with a lugged steel bike and downtube shifters!

After getting back home, I rested and showered, grabbed the fixed-gear, and headed out to intercept a party ride in progress. Drank some ciders, ate some fried ravioli, played a large version of Jenga, and headed back. I made up the remaining 6 miles by pootling around the neighborhood.

Sorry I don't have any pics this time around!
