I did it! Century #2 is in the bag. I headed to the Western Maryland Rail Trail for this one, so I could just roll out without worrying about cars and stoplights. It was great. I saw about 16 deer that jumped right in front of me, a family of oppossum, and tons of rabbits, squirrels, and other woodland creatures (as Elise would say). I did the full trail (22mi each way) twice, then went up 6 miles and came back 6 miles. The trail goes along the C&O Canal, so there are a lot of historic land markers to see along the way. Even though it got to about 89 degrees by finish, the trail is mostly shaded, so it stayed relatively cool. I followed my nutrition/hydration plan to a tee and I felt great after the ride. My butt was a little sore, but my legs still felt good and my energy level was high. You can see the stats below. Enjoy!
