Bob was incredible on his bike and did his share of some hard work. Bob is always a joy to ride with. We did do a good pace for 100 miles. To ride it in a little over 5 hours was a milestone for me. The course was very well supported and well marked. The sag stops had a great selection of food and drink. I would love to do this ride again next year.
Need some recovery food and drink.

We saw fellow CoW Cynthia walking towards registration as we were rolling out. The century course was very fast, very flat (once we got over the bridge) and a had bunch of riders. Steven and I stayed with a large peleton of about 20 riders for the first 40 miles and then smaller groups to the end. As you can see from the average, the peletons rolled at high speed especially at the beginning when the route was downwind. Steven was very strong and did several very tough pulls. He pulled me as I struggled from 70 miles to the rest stop at 88 miles. After that, in spite of the headwind, I held on much better until the run up to the bridge where I fell back slightly. This is a great course that used several roads from the CNC Spring rides. 100.87 miles at 19.5 mph average. Steven could have been faster, but had an anchor holding him back. This was a fantastic day for a ride. Route: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/175049773 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CyclistsOfWilson-COWs" group.
