Except he isn't.
Why a "Century"? Why a "Metric Century"?
Either it is a personal goal, or it is done to impress others. My take on that is, if I can impress you with something I can do, you aren't worth impressing. Sure, people can be positive about me making an effort, exceeding limits, all that .... but anyone who knows I am trying to impress, and is impressed .... weak. Do it to do it, don't do it to impress. This isn't junior high school.
If done for oneself, fine .... but I wouldn't hurt myself for it.
After losing a lot of fitness, riding even metric century was a serious challenge I have done a few rides of 60.9 miles, 61.2 miles, 59 and change ...... but each was exactly as long as it needed to be.
Maybe @
ChamoisDavisJr was being a richard .... maybe not.
Llook what he says ..... I think many of us have seen this. I recall @
Jim from Boston saying how his co-workers would always ask in amazement, "You rode to work in This weather?" even though he rode to work every day for years and always (obviously) answered, "Yes."
He then says, So, he Is offering encouragement, and in fact offers assurance of success. He isn't attacking the OP or undermining him.
Anyway .... different interpretations ...
