The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard
The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.
We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.
We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Nope 80 to 90 is the worst at 80 you think you are going to die before you get done, but once you hit 90 you can feel the end coming any time.

The worst is when the ride has options and one option is a metric century (62 miles) and you have the choice of turning left for the metric and going 1 more mile to the finish or turning right for the full 100. This was after approx 7000 feet of climbing for the metric and about 3000 more for the full. This was the first century I did, it contained 4 major climbs and three minor for an approx 10,000 feet of climbing in 101 miles.

I have ridden two centuries in my life. Both were bike tours and both involved the tour directors making a routing mistake or something and the whole group having to reroute and pick up mileage. Being in a group made it seem easier at the time, I guess being grouchy with a gang is easier than facing it by yourself
