To me, a century is riding 100 miles in one swell foop, whether that takes 5 hours or 25. I've ridden countless centuries. some of them are highly organized affairs where there is an entrance fee, sag support, numerous food stops and the like. Others are only organized in the sense that a bunch of friends agree to meet and do a ride together, stopping for food and water along the way when they damn well feel like it.
I typically stop a LOT. I'm in no damn hurry to finish anyway, and I love the company and the food.
I measure success not by how fast I complete the century, but by how many pictures I've taken, how many new people I meet, and just general awesomeness.
