My first century
I did it! I rode my first near-century (90mi/144km) in about 5 hours, with two guys from the U Pitt cycling team. I was completely taken aback by how beautiful the landscape was just north-east of Pittsburgh. We passed farms, industrial ghost towns, and gorgeous forests, on varied, hilly roads with relatively few cars (it could have been the Steelers game). The route: Tarentum, Saxonburg, Red belt, Sewickley, Neville Island, McKees Rocks. No photos this time, sadly. I'm indebted to Sharp Edge burgers, Maredsous #8, and Southampton Porter for the nutritional advantage over my companions.
