ahead by a century

The training ride for the Friends for Life Bike Rally today was from Kennedy Station to Uxbridge and back. 117 km for the training ride, plus riding to Dufferin Station in the morning and back home from Kennedy Station and I was at 146 km on the odometer when I got home, which made it the most km I'd ever ridden in a day. So I did what any mildly OCD person would do. I kept riding.

Now, riding past my house, where there was beer in the fridge, was probably one of the most difficult things I've done. My nether regions were afire, my right knee had been complaining bitterly for the last 40 km, and I was out of water. But I was only 14 km shy of an imperial century, 100 miles. So all I had to do was keep going until the odometer read 153, then turn around and come home. Getting to 153 took forever, because I was checking the odometer every 3 seconds. Getting home was pretty quick, though, and my odometer now reads 160.48 km. So a century by a hair, but still a century.
