The Night Before Another Century

I will be riding my second century (100 mile bike ride) tomorrow. It's funny how much less nervous I am about this one than I was about the last. I have ridden so much over the last couple of months that this really doesn't feel like a huge challenge anymore. It's just another Saturday on the bike :) I'm no longer concerned with whether or not I'll finish and more concerned with how quickly I can finish.

It will be fun to have the opportunity to ride with some faster bikers tomorrow. When I rode in Minneapolis we started a little late and so we were riding from behind and passing a lot of slower riders. It was a nice ego boost, but I'm sure that it gave me an artificial sense of speed. Tomorrow I will be starting near the front of the pack and I'm sure that I'm going to be humbled by all of the stronger bikers whizzing by me. At least it will give me something to chase after :)
