I had a blast! I did the metric century plus a little, ending up at 66 miles, averaging a little over 14.5 mph. It was windy, but not as windy as previous years, according to my riding partner. The weather was beautiful, the traffic was very light, and the scenery was nice--LOTS OF COOL BIRDS, IFJANE!

The SAG stops were the best I've experienced; one even had smoothies!

I felt like I could keep going, but for this early and for my (lack of) riding to this point, I felt that 66 miles was just right.

My Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro performed flawlessly. I am very pleased with it--it is a fast little bike!

I highly recommend the Tarwheel Century. It's always in April, it's flat and pretty, and is very well-organized.
