Seagull Century

Last Saturday I rode my first Century ride with my brother-in-law and nephew Frank and Aaron Nutter. The weather forcast was Sunny but Windy, with temps in the 60's. (reminder to self: pay attention next time it says Windy) I started out great and had an average speed going over 17 mph for the first three hours. I don't know if I had a tail wind or not, but my pace was well ahead of my expectations. Well good things don't last forever, and as I left Assateague Island the winds picked up and I was headed straight into them. My pace slowed to what seemed like a crawl. I slogged on. I was reenrgized by the apple pie and ice cream at the last water stop and finished with an average moving speed of 14.3 mph, within a couple minutes of my goal. I guess I can check Century Ride off the Bucket List
