Thanks guys! I forgot to post pictures! I was going to post two, but it doesn't seem to be loading the 2nd one. This is me ZOOMING around at the end of the century! I SO wanted to get off that bike, but you cant tell by my happy face.

Thanks, everyone. The happiness in the photo is definitely the happiness of being DONE!!! Having accomplished the goal. Woo hoo!
Yes, the weather was pretty nice. It was actually overcast for more than half the ride, and a bit humid, but over all nice cycling weather. When the sun came out we started to feel the warmth, then during the last ten miles, we actually faced some pretty strong head winds around Mission Bay, which we did NOT like.
My husband had my friend's husband come up to the front next to him to form a better draft for us girlies.

Good job Jiffer! I was at the finish line (or finish location more like it) to pick up BF and it was HOT! He told me there was a tough hill over at Torrey Pines...I am happy I didn't have to ride that!
You (and your bike) look great in that picture!

The infamous Torrey Pine Grade. Did they go through the park or stay on the road??
Strange my friend didn't say a peep about working the Amtrack Century. It is a beautiful ride.
And congratulation on your first century. A very pleasant century ride.
BTW, weren't you wearing a glove??
