Successfully finished the ride. 106 miles, 6,836 feet of climbing done in 6 hours and 50 minutes riding time, making an average speed of 15.5 mph. Pretty happy with that for my first century. Enjoyed it, but not sure I'll do one again for a while.

For your first century, and one with a decent bit of climbing in it, I reckon that's a very impressive average speed!

Not too shabby at all, what were you worrying about?

Well I'll certainly remember the last 10 km. There was a brutal steep climb at about 10 km from the finish. I didn't walk because I've never walked a climb yet, but after that I was on the verge of throwing up for the last 10 km.
Well done @Welsh wheels 
That's an impressive average speed. I've got a few centuries under my belt now and haven't managed one that quick yet.
