Oh, I did misunderstand and didn't read all the posts (my turn to be *that* guy)
I don't ride flats, and I don't understand flat riding at all, but I do understand the effect altitude can have.

Congrats on the great ride. Loved the pics and the all the comments pre-ride.

Great looking bike - very comfy - no doubt.

No doubt you'll be riding many more Centuries. But remember your good fortune with the weather, your next Century, could seem harder.
Wind was virtually non existent most of the day only reaching 5-8? Mph in the afternoon.
