Congratulations!!
Where was your century? What event? That's about twice the climbing of the 48 mile short course I just did... I am looking forward to my first century! I'm NOT doing it on my mountain bike, though103 miles, 4611ft of incline. Took EIGHT HOURS but a lot of that was eaten up at all the stops (holy long lines, Batman!). Saw lots of cool stuff, beautiful scenery, some long climbs (one was two miles long, at mile 71) and some REALLY AWESOME descents (Hey! Let's go back and do that again!)
So I'll be shopping for, buying, and getting used to a road bike between now and then. My plan is to ride in the High Sierra Fall Century again next year, but do the whole thing - gorgeous scenery, and only 1 stop sign in all 100 miles! No long lines, either... wait, I'd better keep quiet about it, or they'll get long - haha!

Hear-Hear! Great job, congratulations on your accomplishment. You must feel just so proud of yourself, well earned with all that training.
