DH and I have spent the last 3 weeks doing centuries. First was One Helluva Ride, then Holland Hundred and yesterday the Coast Guard festival bike tour. We both felt pretty good after the first two, but yesterday with strong northwest winds, that one kicked our butts! The coast guard ride was pretty fast paced and we finished almost dead last, but we did finish. The pace of most of the riders was 20mph average or faster, and we kept thinking while we were facing northwest winds on Lakeshore drive, how most of the riders were already enjoying the post-ride pizza, or were long gone already, enjoying a fine microbrew somewhere while we struggled! I think I will ride for fun for a while, and wait until September to do any more centuries!
