Pretty modest goals for 2016.

Do the local Metric here in town. Done
Do the metric at my son's college. Done.
Coming later in the year. A local century which would be the first one for me. It's not until the fall, so plenty of time to get ready.

A couple of friends are asking me to travel and do a century with them. It's wasn't planned but I'm considering it. I have 2.5 months to get ready, and I've already done a pair of metrics recently so I'm riding well. Just not sure doing my first century during July in the deep south is a great idea. I ride all summer in the heat anyway, but I tend to do fewer miles in July and August, and even ride some after dark. Last summer It was triple digits for 3 weeks with high humidity. That was a rough stretch. Caused me to postpone a century I wanted to do in September.
