If you tried one of our world famous Banana Boats, it was probably handed to you by my wife.
I really hope you enjoyed (I'm not sure enjoyed is quite the right word to use when talking about centuries) the ride and had a good time. Thanks for participating.
Does this look familiar?

Doug, unfortunately, the Holley sag was the only one we skipped, still had plenty of liquid after leaving Foster.
Helmet off to you and your club, what an excellent and well supported ride! Nice scenic route, good sag food and plenty of it, well supported with all the volunteers from check-in to finish. I can't believe the number of people helping out on the course. Simply an amazing job from everyone!!
This was my third year riding the Strawberry century. The first, only had the bike 2 weeks, made it 45 miles. Last year 85 miles and the full 102 miles this year. Each year has had the same great level of support from your club, I'm truly impressed. Thanks to all your club members and volunteers who make this such an enjoyable event.
