Finished my first century yesterday (100 miles on a bike) and I am very very tired and sore. I think I did pretty well for my first time. Made sure to hydrate and eat when I could. This was the route we took. Spreading across a good chunk of LA and Orange Counties. The turn out was so much more than I expected, I think officially 30 signed up, but I want to say 40 showed up. A few people didn’t finish but I think about 75% finished. I took us about 12 hours to finish, which is long but whatever. There was some issue with more experienced riders wanting to make less stops or really short stops to complete it quicker (also so they wouldn’t get cold and their muscles wouldn’t stiffen up) but shit, more than HALF of the people on the actual ride hadn’t ever done a century. Cut them some fucking slack. Other than that it wasn’t that big of a deal, everyone had turn by turn directions so if you wanted to not wait at the stops fine, go on.
I have some challenging homework assignments to do this weekend and Tuesday. I’m feeling ultra lazy too, which isn’t good. Lets hope for the best.
