To the poster doing the San Diego century...
San Diego is full of some of the fastest hammer dogs in the country. When I lived there one of the clubs had a regular New Years day century in North County. SDBC or Cyclo-Vets, I forget which.
Anyway, the last one I road was 1997. Please don't take this as a brag, because I was just along for the ride in the huge pack, but we knocked this thing out in just over 4-hours. Amazing.
For me the wild card is how many crazy fast people there are to draft off of.
