Since my road bike was destroyed in an accident last fall (and I used the insurance money to buy new skis and snow tires), I've missed out on the spring/summer biking season. However, I decided that I'd join some friends in riding the Sunrise Century with a rental bike. Despite a serious lack of training (only 30 miles), I was able to complete the 100-mile course through the canyons of Boulder and add on another 13 miles in riding to and from the start. After finishing, I realized that I spent nearly a full-day of work (~8 hrs) on the bike.
