It was really hard. it was 79 miles http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=43257 read all about it. I was riding with the big kids, every one of them really a tough rider with amazing miles under their belts.

I too did the Flying Wheels Century on Saturday. It was a good ride for me, mostly: Rode with my fast buddies and we averaged just over 20 mph the first 56 miles. The rest of the ride I slowed down a bit and finished with an average of 19.2 mph. Faster than usual pace because it was a mostly-flat ride, compared to the Ramrod Training Series rides I've been doing.

Rode on new-to-me Dura-Ace wheels, and the rear one popped a spoke at mile 86. ARGH! The wrench at the mile 85 rest stop happened to be a friend and he loaned me a rear wheel to finish on -- I owe him cookies or something. So grateful to finish, even if all my friends were long gone by the time I rolled in.
