My First Century Ride....ever.

100.76 Biking Miles.  I headed North to the Airport, then East to 2200 W, then North to the Legacy Trail, then I went NW on the new West Davis Freeway trail.

I turned around in Syracuse and followed the same route back home.  The last 15 miles were tough because (a) I have never gone that far, (b) uphill almost all of them, (c) headwind, and (d) it was 80 degrees by the time I hit that section.

Glad to have that one in the books!
