Woke at 4:30 again, ate, then got to the start line in Central Park around 6am and met D. We road the NYC Century, a 100 mile ride that is not a race, more of a casual excursion that takes in a lot of the city. Avery 15-30 miles is a supported rest stop, with water, food and restroom facilities.
You see all sorts of things, but the thing that got my attention the most were the children and the parents with their older children, One guy in his 50-60s was riding with his daughter, who was probably a late teen, early 20s. Man, I so hope that to be me in 15-20 years. To be able to share this ride with Edie would be amazing. Our route transposed over some of the shorter routes, and people on the 30 mile route took kids as young as 7 or 8. I imagine next year, instead of riding 100 miles, I'll have Edie strapped on to ride the 15-mile route with me.
