I used to do a regular century ride the first Sunday in the new year. I lived in the Gulf South then and the weather was never too bad in the winter, . Did a ride from New Orleans up to some of the best catfish in southern Louisiana, Middendorf's Seafood Restaurant - Ponchatoula - Akers | Urbanspoon. It was quite a challenge riding home with a belly full of catfish and a beer but it was a great way to start the New Year.

I'm in the midwest now; I'll get on my bike but I know I'm not doing a full century let alone eating a plate of fried catfish, .
