Metric without stopping
102.84 km
31.80 km average (19.75 mph)
3:14:09 total
Starting around here, just south of Blaine, WA:

Turn around point in Sumas, directly east on farm roads along the border:
https://local.google.com/local?f=q&hl...46069&t=h&om=1
That was fun. I ran out of water at the 96k point, so it seems two 830ml bottles was enough. Next step is to get a medium size bento box and try a century with one rest stop around the 100k point. Can anyone suggest a good gel that is about 2-3 times larger than a clif shot?

you did a metric on ~1.7L of water? I'd need about 3L for that distance! You people and your moderate temperatures...

Just got back from a 58 mile ride and while it was cloudy and cool, I only had 3 swigs from the water bottle over the whole ride.
Normally anything less than 60 miles and regardless of the weather will only drink 1 bottle.
