Monday to Humboldt

Rode from Spencer to Humboldt, including the Karras Loop to have my first 100 mile ride. Distance was 100.74 miles including some riding around in Humboldt to get over the 100 mile mark according to the Garmin, and total time was 7:01:36, avg speed of 14.3mph, best mile was 22.0mph (north riding with a tail wind). We left shortly after 6:30 and got into Humboldt at about 5:45. The Karras Loop was quite a bit thinner on riders, but the stop over city there (Albert City) was fun and had some great homemade Ice Cream. Rode thru Dickens, Gillet Grove, Webb, Marathon, Laurens, Albert City, Havelock, Rolfe, Bradgate and Rutland, arriving in Humboldt around 5:45 pm. There was a pretty stiff wind from the south which was annoying, but it wasn't too warm out. In Humboldt we rode to Pizza Hut and had dinner there, you know you're hungry when you consider Pizza Hut tasty!
