I joined the club for a century through southern Indiana today. This is a nice ride with lots and lots of flat sections (I love flat). There were a few tough climbs toward the end of the ride but nothing like some of the hills we have faced this season.

It was a hot, humid day but the skies were oh so blue. The wind picked up about mid morning and became a factor. At times we had a nice tailwind but it never lasted long. It seemed most turns took us right into the wind and speeds would drop by 1 - 2 mph. Pace lines formed and fall apart throughout the day so it became every rider for themselves. In the end I logged 97.5 miles and had what I consider a very respectable average speed of 16.7 mph.
