Casual Century

This morning I headed out the door before 7 AM to ride 100 miles. Well, around 108 miles actually. This wasn’t my longest ride, but I haven’t had a big ol’ ride like this since I did my 200km last year around this time, and I felt overdue. This one had substantially more climbing, though.

I felt great nearly the whole time, only ever feeling tired rather than worn out. My Ornot cargo bibs continue to be my favorite, and I didn’t feel the need to reapply chamois cream mid-ride (though I brought some just in case). Pretty sure I had enough hydration, plenty of food, And I was back home a little after 4 PM with all my stops. Now I take a few days off from riding while my family heads to Charleston, and I expect to hit the saddle on Wednesday with fresh legs.
