Completed my first century by accident
I went out for the normal morning club ride this morning and ended up doing my first century. It was a little like Forest Gump, I just got started riding and didn't stop. The only problem was I started out prepared for a one hour ride, so I only had one water bottle and no gel packs. The first 50 miles was with a group, and solo for the remainder. Five and 1/2 hours later I had done my first century.

And I used to put 100 miles on my bike durring the SUMMER, and I though that was a long ways.
Good job. I think I am going to go for 100 miles on my mountain bike. Think it is possible?

I did a 100 on my Grizzly last summer it's a heck of a lot easier on a road bike but it was still a blast
