Hey- I budgeted for 24 hours, but of course, it didn't take 24 hours!
I thought the most important thing for myself was to pace myself- not go too fast too soon and burn myself out or kill my knees, and it seemed to work. I did get lost a few times, which set me back too, but I'll be sure to repeat that ride in the next month, and this time I'll know where I'm going for sure.
I guess I should bring a map next time too!
Good luck to you and your century- everyone that does one should update the forum so that the rest of us can be inspired!
Thanks again to everyone! I appreciate the accolades!
