Century a month: June.

Barely made it today, I had to complete some kilometers near my house in the pouring rain to complete 100 miles, haha. Some friends planned a ride so I took advantage of that and followed them for half the way, then I parted ways and tackled a 15 kms mountain followed by some undulating terrain and completed the loop back home. I felt great today and pulled strong almost all day and even finished the ride feeling well. I was worried about the big climb because the last time I suffered a lot on it but today it was a bliss! The ride was on a central province named Cartago, that province is believed to be the best one to ride in Costa Rica because of its relatively high altitude, various terrain (a lot of hills, some flat terrain), nice weather and less traffic than the capital province.

Distance 100 miles (161 kms)
Elevation 9842 feet (3000 meters) ...living in an inter mountainous valley its really hard not to find a lot of elevation, the only way for me to ride some long stretch of flat roads would be on the northern part of the country or the coasts. By I am not complaining, I love mountains!
Avg speed (moving time) 15.3 mph (24.6 kph)
