Santa Fe Century 2015

2015 was the second year for me at the Santa Fe Century, but this year I got smart and only rode the 50 mile route.  It began on the same route as the full century but took a left after about 20 miles and headed east to Galisteo.  A few uphills but mostly downhill from the start to the support station in Galisteo, then gentle uphill almost all the way back to Santa Fe.  I did OK considering I was suffering from a cold and it was 45 degrees when I left at 8:45 am.

My buddies Larry and Gary did the full century ride.  They left the hotel at 6:30 am when the temps were 33 degrees. I was glad to have stayed in bed another hour while the temps warmed up a bit.
