Good ride for the most part. Not cars hitting me, but there was a hit and run on my car in the parking area almost 30 feet away from my tent while I was out riding the second day. Crushed the shit out of the bumber that was just replaced last month, damaged the radiator, and thus cased the engine to overheat and die when I tried to stupidly drive home.

So on a non auto damage note, it technically wasn't a century ride. Saturday I only rode 92 miles and then did 68 miles on sunday. The first day was really nice and we had a bit of sun and nice rolling hills to play around, which was great since my bike is shit of flats. The second day was torrential rain and pretty misserable till about the last 13 miles when the rain stopped giving me a chance to dry out a little.

All in all the riding was good, though it does make me wish I had a road bike. My current setup is a hardtail mtn bike with 25x700c road tires. It gets me there though not always comfortable or quickly. And for the most part I still out rode a lot of the people I was with.
