Cyclists Curing Cancer 2006 Century Ride - CycleCentury

It seemed like most people did the 50 to 62 mile options. There were quite a few drop-offs after the 62 mile turnaround. It was a perfect Fall day for a century ride. Not too cool, it was around 51F when we started and topped out at 67F. It was a bit windy, though, and I keep my tights and long sleeves on under my jersey all day.

Nothing really. I need to do more long rides though, my legs were hurting at about the 80 mile mark and this was a pretty leisurely pace (although I didn't do that much drafting, our little group of 6 dropped to 3 after 1 guy peeled off at 62 and one of the women had a bus stop flop when standing - tore up her jacket, but perhaps more importantly, she may have broken her left elbow. She had to sag out, poor thing :( ).

Stumbled around the parking area, got 3/4s of a large pizza hut pizza. Sometimes there are advantages to being one of the few that complete the century distance. I also got a $50 gift certificate to my favorite bike shop!


Nothing but me. I could've ridden faster, but the object of today was to have FUN and that's what I did.


Got a really nice props at the end, I was walking off with my stuff and one of the female volunteers said to the other "look at the definition on his legs... WOW!" :)

I turned around, smiled, and shamelessly posed for them.
