Finished my second century yesterday...
Rode in the Alzheimer's RIDE in Rye, NH yesterday. It was kind of hot, and we had some rain. I think there were about twice as many hills on this year's course. But, I got it done in 6:55 not counting 15 minutes at each pit.
I rode my 88' Bridgestone RB3 and was pretty comfortable all day. I had a good time and I'm happy with the results.
The best part is our team raised $4400 for research to help find a cure.

Very respectable in every way.
You had a good time completing it in good time, and raised a nice chunk of change to boot.

Great job, especially on that bike. Awesome. NH is a hilly state, so your time isn't bad at all.
Also, excellent job on the fundraising. Impressive.
