I did an unsupported 56 mile ride the week after my first metric century.

This past Friday, I did an unsupported 70 mile ride with 1400' climb,16 mph winds at a 15 mph average. And it felt easy. I had plenty more miles in the tank. Each long ride I feel stronger and stronger. I feel like I am ready for a century now if the opportunity presents itself. By that, I mean a supported ride as I'd like to do it with a group the first time.
