fifty two

52 is the number of Century rides I completed this year.  It started because I was trying to get ready for RAINstorm.  It continued because I'm insane.  Below is a summary of each century.

Here are some useless statistics:

18 - number of solo centuries

9 - number of centuries ridden with Kevin

8 - number of centuries ridden with Dwayne

7 - number of centuries ridden with one or more Dan

3 - number of centuries over 150 miles

9 - most dogs on one ride

1 - number of broken derailleur cables

1 - number of almost broken derailleur cables

5505.5 - total miles
