I've been making a point of trying to get a backlog of blog posts out and one of my older ones is a write-up of the recent Pampered Century put on by some folks from the Chicago Cycling Club and Evanston Bicycle Club. It was an immensely enjoyable ride and it was fun to meet a bunch of folks who I happened to only know from their statistics on the Endomondo National Cycling Challenge. It's kinda nice riding something like a century with a smaller group like this versus one of the mammoth rides like the highly publicized North Shore Century.
