A Century to Ride
Ok -- so i have decided to try to find a century to ride in. I was looking at one from St. George to Zion -- which would be cool. Except that they have an eight hour cap on the ride, "All riders must be off the road by 4:30." I am not sure I can complete 100 miles in 8 hours. I know, that makes me a bit wimpy. But, at my current pace of ten miles an hour, I either need to better make a road bike or get busy riding faster.

That would be quite the climb - from St. George to Zion. Eight hours is pretty tight. Does it follow I-15? Before the Hurricane junction, I can't really picture where else it could go.
I think the first problem with it is that it's at the end of this month, which is too soon for me. I thought it started close to highway nine -- but don't remember the exact details. Most of the virgin river gorge is below St George if I am not mistaken. It still looks like it should be a climb.
