Everyone probably saw this already, but this past Sunday I completed my second century ride. This one was a little different in that it was supported (rest stops with lots of good food, bike maintenance tents) and there were probably a couple thousand other folks doing it.
Right off the bat my buddy and I missed a turn and ended up not realizing it until about mile 13. We were on the back 50 of the 100 mile course. Some other riders that were behind us had missed the same turn and decided to keep going. We decided that we were doing this the right way, so we backtracked 11 miles to the turn we missed. As a bonus we met up with a bunch of friends at the first rest stop, friends that we thought we would never see because of our error. They had been really late and we rode with them the rest of the time. The weather was perfect and there is just nothing better than country roads for a long ride.
At the end of the day we clocked in at just over 122 miles.
Just a great day all around.
