I had a crazy idea to ride a century this month and I picked one of the coldest and windiest days of the summer. It's my first century since 2014, which is also my first since getting doored. Thanks to Joyce joining us for the first 50 and MikeC & Kirk accompanying me for the whole 100 with me. I've recently ridden 70-80 miles but something about that extra 20-30 just tests your body. It's mind over matter at that point. My goal was to finish and I did! Smoke was much better most everywhere except for Pt. Reyes Station and Olema. We had crazy gusty winds on Hwy 1 and my legs were cramping from the cold for most of the ride except for the middle part from Fairfax to Nicasio. Climbing Panoramic at mile 80 was really tough on my legs but I just went slow and took lots of breaks.
