Had to suffer for the last 6 miles or so. Can't wait to do it again !!
Look at you! Welcome to the madness! I started riding centuries in my mid-50s. There's not much cooler than finding yourself doing things in your 50s that you didn't or couldn't in your 20s. Bikes are great for that!
I did a century yesterday, but managed to mistime my ride so I was riding the last 50 miles into a steady, very hot headwind. I don't remember the last 20 miles very well.
