Though I don't ride century rides any longer, in the past 5 years or so I have completed over 75 of them. I never really "relished" or ever even thought of them as some kind of achievement, just a longer bike ride. So what if a cyclist passes me on a hill or anywhere for that matter, whether on a regular bicycle or an e-bike. I could not care less. There exists an "elitist" cycling culture that I want no part of.
