A couple of us hammered out another gravel century yesterday 3/8. 100 miles right on the nose, depending on what GPS information you use the elevation gain was from 5700-6700. The temps started out at 5 when we left and reached a high around 26 mid afternoon. 11.7 for a rolling average so only 8.5 hours in the saddle this time. We also spent less time off the bike so only 11 hours out this time. The nice thing was with the colder temps we didn't hit any mud to speak of. Overall I felt much better on this ride and afterwards than the first one. I did switch my saddle before this ride to the same one I use on my road bike and I was much happier overall.

Just to keep things interesting, I managed to take a tumble on the less than 1/4 mile of paved bike trail we used for a connector between roads.
