I've done 7 centuries this year (since April), two of which were metrics - the rest were 100 milers. I try to do at least 1 a month. I've got one scheduled for mid-October in Gilroy, CA.

Of course, this doesn't count the 50 and 35 mile back-to-back "tuneup" rides I did on one weekend in February (50 on a Saturday, 35 the following day), the two day 100 mile "Tour of the Sacramento Delta" (50 in, overnight stay in a hotel, 50 back), and of course the Diablo climb today (that was only 22 miles - half up, half down). And, I've been cracking off anywhere between 2-4 20 to 30 milers a week around town this summer, after work. That'll end soon, when we run out of late afternoon sunlight.

I can't climb for *****, but I manage to get around.......
