Did the Metric Century of the Skagit Spring Classic, and boy was it miserable. It was 46 degrees, the rain was unrelenting, the dan henries melted away, my map melted away, the other riders melted away, the winds on the flats were even more ferocious than I remember, and to top it off, I got a flat around mile 55. Luckily, the SAG driver happened by just then and i was more than happy to let him change it for me (in spite of the fact that I am perfectly capable of doing it myself. Don't judge me, I was frickin' tired and frazzled). The only thing that kept me going was the realization that it wasn't nearly as bad as STP '08
