Huzah! Huzzah!!!
A friend of mine did his first century with me Sunday. He's been riding for y'ars and just never had the time to be in shape *and* have the weather ortiming work. It didn't really work this time, either - 20 mph winds and gusts to 30 - but we had BIG GUYS in the club pulling us along for the first two loops (70 miles)... yea, we took our turns too but we couldn't have done it on our own... and they could have left us in the prairie debris had they wanted to. We eked out that last 30 by doing 2 15 mile loops instead of 1 x 30...
He says today: Now I know how to do a hundred miles: you keep riding.
