Thanks to nuclearpolymer I finally got 'round to doing a formal century---the Sea Coast Century---this Saturday. The verdict? Wet!

( The saga )

Next time, perhaps a stronger pace. And need to figure out a way to bring more small snacky meals along; I'm not so much for a normal lunchtime on a long ride, I prefer lighter snacks and shorter breaks along the way. Bananas and oranges are great.

Now I need to take my bike in to get my derailleur re-lubed and re-adjusted; all that water left everything coated in sand, and I couldn't shift properly after the first rest stop. And I really should just acknowledge the truth and either get road tires, or a road bike (which might make my shoulders hurt less after a long ride, too). But two bikes really seems a bit too much, and I do love my old steel Trek frame.
