Great 100mi ride today. This was a very well organized ride with lot's of very nice riders participating. I did the ride with a friend, but we joined some great groups of riders along the way and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. OK, some spots were rough. My friend almost bonked, but thanks to our "emergency rations" in our jersey pockets, we took care of that quick and he rebounded really fast. There were some kinda tough hills along the way. At miles 85-90 the "rolling" hills were starting to get to me. But then near the top of one I pass this one girl who is saying "ow, ow ow" with each pedal stroke. I had to chuckle. She was fine, by the way, just enjoying the hills even less than me. This made me feel better somehow and I finished reasonably strong. Average pace on the road was 16.6mph. Could have been better, could have been worse. Overall, a good, but tiring, ride.
