+100 on that.
I've read on other threads that self-supported centuries somehow "don't count". Bull. I've done organized and self-supported centuries, and the latter are much more difficult simply because they *are* self-supported: you must carry (or chose a route that allows you to buy) your own food, water, mechanical support, etc.
Well done, adrien!

I was amazed at how super-reliant many people are on the food stops: There were lots of tri-racers out yesterday, with nothing more than a single water bottle, a CO2 inflator, and a single tube and tire lever.
If you check the UMCA rules for self supported century registration toward the Century-a-Month challenge, you only need to provide photos or dated store receipts from multiple points along the route to prove your course.

Congrats!
I have ridden that entire route, just not all at the same time
I grew up in Vienna, and I am glad to hear that they still block the bike path for their carnival
I would love to do this ride, unfortunately 1700 miles would make for a long commute to and from
BTW, that 15 miles before Purcellville is all uphill
