I ended up going too actually, I thought about not going cause of the rain but it didn't really rain any here in Palatine the day before and looked just as bad so we figured we go and see how the weather was. Rode in the light rain for a bit and sucked some wet wheel(lots of manure on the roads lol!) but it was pretty nice. We did about 6 hrs including stops at rest breaks, my cousin is going to try and get more stats. It was just him, me and one of his friend's but since we are both fairly new to cycling so it felt like I solo'd 50+ miles since I suck at drafting. The end of the Udder is both brutal and fun, one of the hills near the end was all into the wind and I was going so slow, but then we went up another hill then we just coasted down hill about ~27mph for a long ways. We kept trying to find groups of riding to hang with but everyone was always a bit too fast or a bit too slow. It was me and my cousin's first century.
