Thanks for the update! You did the right thing for you and that's all that matters. Great photo and breathtaking scenery. I'm like you in that I like to plan for "options" during my ride, so that if I decide I can't or don't want to keep going I can go for lunch or stop for coffee! Good going.

I think you did the right thing. There will be other rides and your health is the most important thing!
Beautiful scenery!

I'm glad you found a solution and it all worked out for you. There will be other centuries and all that training hasn't gone to waste.
The photo is great. What beautiful scenery!__________________

It is a smart cyclist who knows their limit on a specific day. I think it is better to have 50 miles where you really enjoy yourself versus 100 miles and you end up sick for the next two weeks. Sometimes it really is about being smart, so congratulations.
