What is this?
This is documentation of a personal century ride for the UMCA Year-Rounder Challenge. The basic idea is to make at least one 100-mile ride in each month of 2007. It gets me out when it might otherwise be too easy to say “too bad the weather wasn't better this month.”

GPS Goof
The GPS unit (strapped to my back, because the Garmin mount doesn't fit the handlebar on my road bike) was off between Yoncalla and Wilbur. The total mileage is therefore taken from bicycle computer, although it is also consistent with previous ride of the same route. Since the missing segment is no longer than distance between store receipts when documenting rides in that manner, I believe it should be acceptable.
