Spiddow! 100 kilometers miles done and done. Didn't get "hard" until mile 50, At 55 it took everything I had to keep from crying. But I didn't cry and I didn't quit...Hooray me! :D

Forgot to add...the ride was the Major Taylor Century in Whitinsville, Massachusetts, to comemmorate and celebrate Marshall " Major" Taylor. Major Taylor was the first Black World Cycling Champion (1899). and the second Black world champion in any sport.

The course was beautiful as the leaves were changing colors. Lots of climbing (3563 feet in the metric century).

Just read the book on Major, fascinating story.

Congrats, good job! Next year is the "real" century, right? ;)
