Another
Century to bike today! The fog looms overhead as a line forms
for the row of port-o-johns at the first pit stop. (curse
the morning diuretics - coffee and tea)
After the first hour or two of riding, the fog lifted
and off comes the long-sleeve shirt. After biking in the foggy
SF mornings, I am used to having an extra layer to wear just
for the morning start and then the foggy return over the Golden
Gate Bridge. Here, the sleeves are necessary for only the
first fifteen miles, then it's warm enough to go

with
just short sleeves for the rest of the day.
By
lunch I still feel good. I've never done back-to-back Century
Rides and was concerned about finishing. Not necessarily crossing
the line, but just how taxed I would be once I did cross the
line. Once again, the mystery hills came into play. Fortunately,
I was able to find another biker with a similar pace. The
rest of the ride went smoothly with no traffic to deal with.
Exhaustion set in after the 214th mile. Half of this Ride
is already completed.
