It’s funny how riding 100 miles has become almost routine. This day was the memorial Century Day, named in honor of one of the founders of RAGBRAI who loved to ride 100 miles. Most years it’s optional but this year it was only optional in the sense of skipping it, which I of course did not. One of the other riders, Reid, had never done anywhere near that distance before and she was excited but also nervous. And she killed it! But, Because of that, we didn’t do much stopping or anything, we just busted down a flat road with a tailwind, and we got in super fast. The night time entertainment was the potluck dinner we invested in at the Lutheran church, which was the best pork chop I’ve ever had. I’m not even a big fan of pork chops. Then the pastor saw my Rice cap and came over to talk to us because he had just had his oldest son get into Rice and was going to attend. So Cheng and I got to reminiscence. All in all it was a very pleasant, if long, day.
