Anyone done Cool Breeze century before ... Anyone doing it this year? :D

Good advice Jennifer! Now that I think about it, i took ibuprofen once before an early morning ride due to a headache and i felt great on that ride! I will definately take some before and during the ride on saturday. And I agree - 3 is the perfect dosage!

Have a good ride!

The hills killed me today! The hills right after the first rest stop were fine, but the ones that come after that...no wonder people were resting on the bottom of it before deciding to tackle it. I had to unclip while almost at the top because I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest. Gatorade got me through the rest of it though!

After looking at this and from the descriptions this sounds like FUN!. Maybe I could actually do a Century. Not only that, but my husband used to live in Ventura and we have been back a few times. Looking at those pictures makes me homesick.

Perhaps, I will have to put this on the calendar as a to do ride. I would love one of their jerseys.

Have fun and good luck to all who ride.

I did the century this year and in 2006. It was easier this year. And I haven't ridden in 2 weeks! The scenery is fantastic. I highly recommend you all do it next year.

Can't believe I completed my first century yesterday! It was tough but totally doable...the weather was real nice, on the warmer side and the scenery and routes were amazing! Surprisingly, I felt great after the ride and after a short rest at home I decided to go out and celebrate...Im paying for it now though Anyway, my riding time was 7hr38min, average sp of 13.1mph, 101miles..i felt like I was pretty slow compared to others...is this a decent time? Don't be shy - i can handle criticism!

Hi Sevan -
I dropped off the forum for awhile so forgive the waaaay late response ... but congrats on your first century! And, if you still even care ... you weren't the slowest on the ride by far ... my time was 8 hours 5 minutes for 101.4 miles (and I passed people, so I know there were some even slower, if you can believe it). I really wanted to come in under 8 hours ... and actually, at the exact 100 mile mark, I was at 7 hours 58 minutes, so as far as I'm concerned, I DID make my goal!
Jennifer
