"Century Ride"

I rode my bicycle 103.5 miles on Saturday in Wichita Falls, TX with my friend, Mike, from Chandler in an event called "Hotter'n Hell 100". This event features 12,000 bikers who either participate in the }race" (fast) or "ride" (more moderately paced) portion of the line-up. I was definetely a rider! It was really fun actually and I was surprised at how well I finished up - expecting to be dragging more. Miles 80-90 were the hardest - where I just wanted to be done. The last 1o were really easy! Other than being sore today I hit the rode again running 5 miles to "recover"! This is my first century ride that I finished and it was really fun to be out there with all of those other people! Maybe I'll do it again next year...
