First Century on the Cervelo

I got up this morning and knocked out about 13 miles before meeting Francis and Nate at the Runners' Station. We then headed north and picked up YMC and subsequently another guy in Riverside park. We headed out over the GW Bridge and added on a random guy named Daniel. Nate led us on the back way to Piermont and then we went through Nyack via 9W before making a rest stop at Rockland State Park. After Rockland, we continued north on 9W before turning off on 304 and heading west/southwest. We thought we knew the route, but we somehow ended up at 59, where cyclists are prohibited. Nate consulted the GPS a few times and we found a new route back to 303 and then to 340, which led us back to 9W just south of Piermont. We decided to take 9W back to the city. We quickly dropped Daniel as we climbed back toward the state line. Once back into New York, Francis and I switched off pulling the pace line and eventually we looked back and realized we had dropped everyone. I was feeling REALLY strong and Francis even told me he was having trouble keeping up. We stopped and waited on the group to catch back up and then headed back down and over the GW. I rode with Nate and Francis back down to the Runners' Station before making the 6 mile ride back to Brooklyn. I got in right at 100 miles. I was hoping to get in a run after the ride, but I had to get back into the city for a softball game.

I'm starting to feel really strong on the bike and I'm hoping to get in a century on most weekends from here on out.
