Completed 1st Century

Congratulations on finishing your first Century. They will get easier if you keep training. I just finished my 2nd Century today.

Congratulations on your 1st of many Centuries. I still remember my 1st because we had a wicked headwind for the last 15 miles on a road with little to no shoulder and cars whizzing by at around 65 mph. I felt like crying and just wanted it to end! It was the 1st year a group sponsored the ride, there were less than 20 people that signed up for the century and there was little support, but I felt good when it was all over.

Congrats on your first century. That hill at the end must have been a pain!

I remember my first and second centuries, because I did them on consecutive days. It was the MS150 that had an optional 25 each day to make 200. The second day featured a monster,steep 3 mile climb at the 85 mile mark that left about half the people walking. I made it up OK, but was wondering what kind of sadistic person mapped out a route like that.
