    CONGRATS!!!

    The route description said "flat to moderate hills," so keeping the average you did sounds great to me!

    I second Boy in a Kilt's suggestion to do some light exercise tomorrow. Even though it seems counterintuitive, I've found that when I'm really sore the day after a big effort, if I do something like yoga it really helps alleviate the soreness a lot quicker.

    WOO-HOO! I'm five years behind you and I still haven't done a 100-mile century. I've done a few metric centuries, but have yet to do the 100 miles. You absolutely ROCK! (Tell your grandkids we said that! )

    And I second the suggestion to do a gentle yoga practice--really helps with recovery!

    Now...time to start thinking about which century you'll do next.
