Did My First Metric Century Today
Sort of, I did stop 4 times for water, food, and a beer or two. Had to double back on a few areas to get the miles in and started to run out of daylight so the last 3 miles were done at the little park in my neighborhood. Not bad for a 49 year old guy on a 40 pound hybrid.

Congrats. I'm still trying to build up my endurance and hope to eventually do a metric century, and then a regular century some day.

Congrats! I'm working on my endurance to do one this season. I've done them before but it's been a couple years.
