Looks like a fun event, but I already have the schedule booked. Some year when I don't, perhaps, if I can be fit at that time of year.

$25 gets you a water bottle, shirt, and pin.

You get the pin upon completion of the century.

It's the flattest century you will ever do. THe biggest rise is the overpass.

Sounds like a good ride to break five on.

I've broken 5 hours.

I'm sure I could do it this time as well (assuming no strong winds). But even with winds, there are so many riders, you can pretty much mike the entire time.

But I may be a bit more casual this year. The first rest stop (which I've never stopped at) apparently has a huge fruit offering. Like magnificent. I just found this out. So I may stop for fun, instead of gun for time.
