Tried my first metric century...and failed :(

Tried to do my first metric century yesterday. The plan was to ride 70km to my old hometown, then 30km out to the local lake and back. But by the time I had done the 70, my legs were done. Hopefully I will be fitter/stronger/lighter next time I try and I can make it.

The other road users were really nice and left heaps of room when overtaking. I have two flats. I think next time I will take some co2 as well as a pump.

All up it took me 4 hours at 17km/h.







I was going to go around this corner so much faster than 90kph but since I saw this sign I slowed down.
