100 miles bike ride at 11.5 mph

Took a day off to finish my private century ride on W&OD trail at 11.5 mph, after a water bottle drinking practice crash and a wonderful tune up by the head mechanic. The crash was nesty and I got quite a few bruises and open worms, but I was determined to seize this 80f overcast day. The head mechanic felt sorry for my crash and unnecessary chain replacement by his apprentice last week, he cleaned and put back my old chain, adjusted whatever to ride smoothly, gave me a full refund, and even test rode my bike in the parking lot. Felt like a VIP! I will use canal pack for the race on Sunday and took as many breaks as I like since I rode 100 miles in one day already! — at Bicycle Outfitters.
