I just saw this thread for the first time and had to respond. Some 35 years later and I'm still proud of the accomplishment.

I rode my first century when I was 16 years old, in 1976 in Baltimore County Maryland with a close friend; it was called the Hunt Valley Hundred, it was League of American Wheelman ride (L.A.W. Ride 1976) and what a ball we had. I think it took us about ten hours to complete on 1970ish Fontan ten speeds. People looked at us like we were crazy but we did pretty good for two kids.

I didn't ride another one for years until I rode the 2007 Lake Tahoe Century - What an awesome ride.

This year I will ride the Seagull Century in Salisbury, MD this October.
