Santa Fe Century
May 22, 2007 by ojulius
Did the Santa Fe Century with Paige on Sunday. The morning started out beautiful. The temps were reasonable with partly cloudy skies most of the day. I got a short bit of rain, but nothing too bad.
This is a super fast century with only 4640 foot of elevation climbing. It was great for me since the week before I was visiting the parents and didn’t bring the bike along. Granted, I hit the gym 3 days and rode the stationary bike, but it’s not the same.
Saw many people that I knew at the ride, so it became social at the break spots. Erik, Ed, Eddie, Jackie, and some coworkers are a handful of the folks I saw. I rode this solo (no drafting) with the hope of getting a good workout in, which I did. While I didn’t take efficient breaks, I definitely got the heart rate up during the time on the road.
No pics yet, but I may get some from Paige later on!
Hey Jeni! I didn’t see you on Sunday! The Pedal Queens did the century as a training ride, by practicing team work and paceline efforts. It was my first ever 100 mile ride :o) We rode strong with 7-8 core members, in about 5 hours. The only hard thing was getting up that early on my Sunday!
