Well mercifully it didn't end up being a century. In fact not even close. I ended up only doing 30 miles. Which was fine by me because it was cold, I hadn't really rode in two weeks, and I set way to fast of a pace for myself early. I averaged close to 18mph for the first 10miles. Which riding rolling hills with no help that was a little fast, I noramally would average close to 17 for the same trip.

So I think the new pedals helped. Because I didn't have to worry about my feet slipping around on the pedals when I dig in to accelerate. Yes it did feel like I had more power. Also didn't have to worry about the pedals getting away from me when I got into the upper 20's like I used to.
