STP 2008 - Day 2: Centralia to Portland

without comments

When I got up this morning, my legs were not feeling so well, and so I expected a slower finish today. For the first twenty miles, I managed a paltry 14.5 mph average. But thanks to a Red Bull, and a few yummy slices of Banana Bread at the aid station in Vader (WA), helped improve the average so much that, at the end of 6 hours and 1 minute, I crossed 100 miles - the best time for a century ride for me so far. However, due to frequent stopping during the last 5 miles, the average fell back to 16.45mph.

It took 6 hours 23 minutes to complete the 105 mile long ride today.

There were more rolling hills today than yesterday - but no sustained climbs. As a result, I also managed to complete 100,000 ft of vertical climb for 2008.
