Brandy, I'm getting a little of driving 100 miles for a ride, only to be greeted with same weather as if I stayed in the Inland Empire, Hopefully, CB will live up to its name
if you rode out and back a second time (from lunch back to the turnaround... and that WAS on the route slip).... you got your 100 at stagecoach...

i don't care what UMCA says.... "I" don't call it a century if "I" don't ride 100 miles... if i were doing the CAM challenge... and i only rode 99.5 miles... it would not be a century! and for that matter... if i were doing the CAM... and did a double metric... i'd still count that as my century for that month.. cuz it's OVER 100 miles.... (i didn't do the turnaround at stagecoach... but you bet your butt i put it at the end... until my odometer clicked over 100... i had NOT done a century!)

hmmmmmm so if you talk about the "averaging out.... if i do 5 rides that are 120 miles... i've actually done 6 centuries cuz it averages out? no... ! lol! don't think so!

i'll bet if you take a poll... you'll find that there are very few people that will call 95 (or even 96, 97, 98 or 99 miles a CENTURY!)
