Broke my century cherry today:

Had to go three laps of the local park to make it up to 100 miles, but imagined I was riding round the velodrome at the end of Paris-Roubaix!

Legs didn't feel too bad at the end. Neck, shoulders, and backside were another matter! Think I did the last two miles out of the saddle.

    Nice ride coming out of Portaferry. Did it from Belfast a few weeks back on a 75 mile run. If I do it again from my house I might get the ton. That Craigantlet climb is a bastard too. Well ridden.

    Cheers! Was your 75 mile ride the Bangor Coastal Challenge? I love Craigantlet, and that climb! Church Road is awesome too. Just took the climbing easy today though.

    Thanks elderone, the average fell quite a bit the last 25 miles or so but still happy with it.
