The First Century
I am planning on doing my first 'century' on Sunday. A century, for all you silly non-riders out there, is a 100 mile ride.
It's stupid enough to do a century when you're feeling well and the weather is supposed to be good. Unfortunately, I almost blew out my left knee during Tuesday morning's ride, developed a nasty cold yesterday and the weather report for Sunday calls for isolated thunder showers (which means high humidity).
Will any of that stop me? Unlikely.
I have been taking 12 Advil a day since Tuesday so my knee is getting better. Unless I physically can't get out of bed on Sunday because of my cold, I intend to do the ride. There is always the option of bagging out after 60 miles (a metric century, for sissies) but that's not my style.

What happens if you break down a long way from home?
And what did people do when they broke down a long way from home before cell phones?
