First Century - yeh baby

104 miles today in the pouring rain for the first 60 miles then dry (except for me, carrying extra poundage in my wet jacket, soaks through but very comfy).  Used the camera on the bike for the first time and discovered the road noise kills the audio.  I had some very clever things to say during the ride but you really can't hear much.  I need to figure out how to edit/combine videos so posting and viewing is a bit more simple.

It became very clear to me today that frequent stops for food (something other than powerbars) will be required to avoid hitting a wall like I did a couple of times today first at 60 then again at 92.  I guess going for the first 5 hours without stopping is not a good idea, live and learn (9 hours out today, about 7 on the bike).  Subway stop for a full sub, bag of chips, 3 cookies and a large coke at the 92 mile mark just before I passed out.  The last 8 miles were good (one final small climb).

Overall a good day, learned a lot and the gear was tested and passed (foot covers are a life saver).

Staying focused, good job Steve (remember that one Doug??)
