In an effort to suffer less during the upcoming century I went out and did 51 this morning. Pretty pleased with the average pace of a bit over 18mph given that I 1) didn't stop for anything more than a stop sign and 2) got rained on pretty hard for the last 20 miles or so.
I'm also shopping for hitch-mounted platform rack for the Jeep and while there's a lot to like about the 1UP there's stuff I definitely don't like. One, no built in lock. Two, at least in pictures, I don't really care for its aesthetic. Three, fuck me they're $$.
