It gives nifty stuff to those who finish the 109 miler under five hours.
Any takers? Lots here in Vegas do it. The winners do it in about 4 hours 19 minutes. |

Wow, under 5 hours is tough if there's any kind of climbing involved. Do you generally finish your centuries in under 5 hours Archaea?

My dad and I just did the HHH century (miles, not km) in 4hr 53min.
My dad is 56 and had one ride over 30 miles this entire season. I pulled much of the last 20 miles (instead of being in a train) because my dad couldn't hold my wheel when I was on other people's wheels. So that put a significant cramp into my own time. But I was esp. proud of my dad. Note: this course was very flat. |

and otherwise is flat.
I generally finish with my friends, who are mostly the go slow type people, but on occasion I can finish in the 4:40 range. It depends upon the rhythm and how strong your group is. |

The least amount of climb I've ever had in a century was 4500 ft. Most are in the 7-8000 foot range which is why I expressed amazement that you are finishing that fast. I've never tried a flat one, but I bet it would be fun to get a few guys together and see how fast you could get it done working together.
