one century · Jul 24, 08:02 am

so i rode 100 miles this weekend. in one day. in cool-guy-biking-circles that’s known as a century.

i’m fairly tired, but managed to get around the whole course (PDF). my longest ride on a road bike before this was 60km.

so the fact that i survived the entire 169km was a good confidence boost. the feeling in my legs as i type this is not as reassuring…

during the ride the temperature got up to 34+C. this is a picture of the sunburn i got – and the number they wrote on my arm inversed (the marker washed off – this was left):

573

  1. Holy crap! My lactic acids are building up just thinking about that. Get thee to a masseuse, post-haste!
