Deanna, which century does you club do?

I hear you on those older guys. I also don't get the insistence on using a double when there are triples available. I call my third ring my "knee saver". I've seen some older riders with bad looking knees and I don't know how many surgeries I've heard about.

My club puts on the Wine Country Century.
