Oh, and I forgot to give my total and absolute agreement to your statement that the Cycle Salt Lake Century had THE BEST weather you could possibly ask for. It was my first century and even though I hit the wall about mile 75 and whimpered under a shade tree for about 20 minutes at the last aid station, I could not have asked for a better day. NO bugs, NO wind and a high of 72 degrees. PERFECT! Let’s just ignore the fact that it took me almost twice as long as you to do it, ok? OK? ok.

That pull by the racer really made the story. Right about the right time, too?

And to think that this child would never consider getting on a bike back in high school times . . . needed to be hauled everywhere he went. It’s so nice that some things change with time. And he actually communicates well with his old parents now as well! Never say never. Good on you, son. Well done. You make your papa proud. True story.

Nice, loved the pics and criteria, esp. the smooth pavement (just because).
I would think it would be required along with a riding partner to stay focused due to mind wander with the view.

Fatty this idea has taken off, I can’t wait for next year, but I must, huh ?
You need to stress that anyone can ride the 100MoN even if not in the 1st 500 sign-ups. I knew this and should have got off the couch.
I’ve already picked a route, a classic 4.86 miles on WA SR 100, Ilwaco. Google satellite maps, nothing could be better. 21 laps on this highway does goes nowhere and a century ride on WA SR 100 would be awesome. Need some other Team Fatty members for next year from the WA or OR area.

It’s already been said but that was very cool of your family to stick around for 40 miles. Very cool indeed.

I laughed out loud that you sprinted to the finish…

Good stuff. Thanks for the great report.

Nicely done. I also found a lack of stop signs and a very close “rest stop” on my route to be useful, but it was strange to never stop unless I wanted to.
