Steve T., Wally and I tackled the 100 miler. We tore out of Greenville with the hammerheads but I soon figured out that running 24/26 mph won't gonna help me finish the full 100. Wally and I backed it down and hooked up with a second group while Steve continued with the fast group. We regrouped at the 40 mile sag stop. Got a group of about 15 to 18 riders organized there, agreed on a 21 pace and away we go. Soon after the rain starts, just enough to eat the spray from the bike in front of you for the next hour. The group does a great job of holding a good pace and staying together the remainder of the ride. Got in one more rain shower about mile 85 for good measure. Strong ride by Steve and Wally. Great ride even in the rain; 103 miles; ride time 4hrs. 55 min. overall avg. just over 20 mph.
