I'm pretty big on cycling, but I'm not one to watch anything regarding it, and I'm certainly not skilled enough to compete. Instead, I'm pretty casual. My ride is a Trek 2.3 FX hybrid. Excellent bike with Alivio derailleurs. My only regret is not upgrading to the disc brakes. While not necessary, I like the way they feel compared to the standard rim brakes.

Have you ever done/considered the "Bike MS: City to Shore?" They have different routes for people who want to do different distances. I've heard it's easy since it's mostly flat and trending downhill, but I thought the same thing about their century option. I'd probably want to saw my legs off if I tried it.

Completed my 3rd century ride just last week! From my house, to the shore. It took me just about 6 hours to go 100 miles on my bike to get to Cape May. Since I made the trip solo this year, I wrote (bad) songs to keep my mind occupied. Get ready for soon-to-be-album-hits like:

“This Road Goes On Forever”
“No One Needs a Truck That Big”
“My Ass is Killing Me”

And the summer love song hit single:
“That Runner is Pretty Cute”

That's wild, considering I really felt like I was cruising on my ride. My elevation gain was only 2,086 feet... I really only stopped twice for the bathroom and to refill water. My only issue was a consistent head wind that really dragged me down for the last 20 miles or so.
