This Civil War Century may be the last century I will ride. The metric's are so much more appropriate with a good 4 hours of riding. I was very determined to make this right, despite the difficulty of the 4 categorized climbs and the sheer hardness of it all. For motivation, I bought myself the official jersey of the ride. No way I could skimp on the century distance looking that good :-)I took the ride slow and easy. The first climb was 7 miles and meandered up as best I could. It was an ok climb and pretty carried on to around mile 30 when the 1st rest stop appeared. Each rest stop had peaches...
