So it isn't as though I've been off the bicycle for an extended period of time or anything ... but it has been just over 2 months since I've done my last century ...... maybe that's too long between centuries for me!!
Your body can't take it unless your ride at least 100 miles.
Was this the cold century without enough clothing you described in another thread ? The cold can do the same thing for some people. I'm one of them.
