First century today
It was awesome. SO much fun. There's something magical about being out there on the road with so many other cyclists... and not giving a $hit if someone waves or not. haha. Seriously though, I'm spent and I cant wait to do it again.

thats awesome, congrats! I remember my first century. You're right, it really amps you up when you see the road side filled with cyclists.

Basically anything that got in my way. After the race there was lots of stuff being handed out so I grabbed a couple bananas, cookies and granola bars. Once I got home I had an Odwalla protein shake. After that neither I or my wife were up to cooking so we ordered pizza and salads.

Ok NOW I've officially completed my first century 
. I did El Tour de Tucson this weekend. I did the 111.7 miles in 6 hours 44 min. Great weather too. It was about 6o degrees at the start, 70 and slightly overcast most of the day.
