Some how I missed this thread. I've been doing a century a month so far since April. Actually more like two a month. I do two races a month and on the weekends I don't race I try to get a 100 mile ride in. Anyway Yesterday I broke my goal of a 5 hour century. It's hard for me to do that because there is all mountains around here. But this ridethe 'Burkes Garden Century' is a nice 2% grade to a decent mountain climb that decends into a 'caldera' like basin. It's beautiful. A high plain basin with 360 degrees of mountains around you. A big loop in the garden, climb back out and then the 2/3% grade with a beautiful tail wind the whole 40 miles back. There was a down pour for the last 30 miles that made it interesting but anyway nice to be in the century a month club
