Sunday 11/09/2008 - DC Randonneur's "Over the River and Through the Woods" century

101 miles according to the iBike, but the GPS only caught 99.73 miles with ~8,000ft of climbing in 6:36:39, average speed 15.1 mph.

The ride is split into 2 parts:

SPEED



Me and another gent by the name of Lane finished ahead of everyone else (~9 people in our group), but Lane is very strong. He dropped me on the long climb up Gunpowder Rd.

At lunch we ran into other members of DC Rand on a different ride. Also, there were some folks from the Baltimore Bike Club on a Seven Valleys ride at the lunch stop as well.

Anyway, it was a great ride with lots of sharp climbs. I would say that the first half felt easier than the second half due to the longer sustained climbs in the second half.
