I hit another bicycling goal yesterday. I did 105 miles around beautiful Hope, Indiana, on a gorgeous day. The scenery, the farmland, the sky--intense blue with fluffy white clouds...it was all mesmerizing. I averaged a little over 16 mph..a nice pleasant speed I think. This is my first century in over 10 years, and only the second one I have ever done. It's funny because last year I could barely get in 15 miles without being super fatigued, I only rode about four times, and I weighed about 275 pounds. Refocusing on quality food (and less of it), exercise and MFP have all combined to get me on the right track, and I am currently down to 196. Hopefully there will be more centuries in store for me, but you never know! I take it all one day at a time, and never EVER take anything for granted now.
Happy trails, and wherever you go, whatever you do, be safe yall!

Got my first road bike this summer, find it a relaxing way to exercise. Haven't done any century rides yet but have been working towards it. What a great accomplishment for you to go from 15 miles to 100+ in about a year. Great work! Keep riding.0
