Looking forward to reading about how you rocked it. I'll be doing an organized century Saturday, too, but our weather looks to be somewhat nicer. Have fun, man!

Yes it is! I was just down your way the end of August. Plano, Frisco and bounced around the area a bit. Scorched earth was all I could think and secondly found myself wondering if I could ride in that heat!

Alex, I would like a 5 -5 1/2 hour century but I don't see that happening and this would be a good one for that since it's relatively flat.

Despite a forecast with a 60% chance of rain and the fact that it rained hard almost all day Friday I decided only a wus would be a no show. Turned out to be a great ride with a Friend and his brother that made the trip down from PA to ride with us. For the most part it just ended up being a very overcast day with some rain that honestly felt refreshing!

It was definitely a different kind of ride than I am used to but it was a worthy cause I do believe It was a LONG day tho.
