Metrics are challenging and often enjoyable. Centuries are challenging and often painful (and occasionally somewhat enjoyable). I will continue to do both, but I usually feel a lot better after a metric.
Sorry, I just can't go for the "imperial" thing. To me a "century" is a 100 mile ride. A 62 mile ride is a "metric century" or just a "metric". "Imperial" just sounds dangerously close to politically correct.
