Solo non - stop century

...not yet, but I'm close.
Last Monday I went out and ended with 131 km in 4h 40', 28kph average. Total time = riding time. Could have completed the century but ran out of water (this was unplanned and I drank only a 750 ml bottle). Felt a little stiff and dehydrated, but was OK by Tuesday. Now if I carry more water next time...

You rode 131k on one bottle? Wow. What were the temps like when you did this? I don't think I've ever gotten that far into a ride without downing at least three bottles.

The temp was about 14º C. I was surprised too, I never thought it was possible. But as I was feeling fairly well, I kept riding and don't seem to have had any negative consequences.
