Did my first charity century this saturday, first century period. 112miles, 7hrs 48min ride time, max spd 44, avg spd 14.5. Did 20miles of the toughest climbs i have ever done.
Feels great to train for something this difficult and make it in the end. No doubt I thought of getting off that darn bike a couple of times.
Rained on us bad, but that was a blessing as well as a curse. Rain started right at the beginning of the steepest climb and didnt stop for 4 hours. Not sure i would have made that climb if it was the usual 90deg temp.

About 6 miles on my new mountain bike--a Jamis Durango. I haven't ridden off-road in about 10 years so I had a good time. Saw a wild turkey and stopped for 5 minutes to admire a beautiful lake in Florida full of herons and "singing" frogs. It was a nice change of pace from my road rides which are more focused and "serious".

I did a metric century with the Frank Polack Memorial Ride benefiting Hospice of Marion County. There were over 200 riders and it was a gorgeous day. I started out on the back of the front group until the first SAG where I waited for a friend. So then, I was part of a group of about 12 riders, many from the Villages (retirement center) with about 6 of us rotating pulls on the front. My average was 20.2mph thanks to the great team work. A free massage afterward was much appreciated.
