I've been meaning to post an update and it's finally time to forece one out here.  Sunday October 2nd was the Tour de Poway and I mentioned in an earlier post I would be riding the full Century route.  The route was 105 miles and fortunately it was a cool day.  The picture below is me crossing the 101 mile mark. The route covered 105 miles total and with a 7AM start it took me till 2:30 to finish.  Nothing real impressive in that mark, but then my goal was simply to complete in under 8hrs, so I'm satisfied.  My only mechanical on the ride had to do with my handlebar tape that I messed up at the start of the ride.
