Ride Profile: Rodger Lance for the Portland Century
August 14, 2009
A century ride, much like a marathon race for a runner, is the pinnacle ride to achieve. So we're taking some time to profile riders of the Portland Century who are pushing themselves to complete the full 100 miles. With the top notch support offered on the Portland Century, including rest stops every 15 miles, mechanics riding alongside and at the rest stops, and support vehicles to offer lifts, this event is a perfect way to attempt a full century.
Rodger Lance, a 67-year-old from Vancouver, WA, is one of those riders who is pushing himself on the ride. "This is not my first Century, but I was worried about the climbing near Bull Run," Rodger admits. So he opted for the 50 mile course instead, but that didn't fly with his son. " My son said he will drag me over the mountain if he has to with my Daughter's boy friend pushing. When I said I was doing the 50 mile course, they sent me back a list of 10 reasons why I should not do the 50."
Have you ever ridden a century ride? If not, the Portland Century is a great way to give it a shot. You can even try the warm up of equally enjoyable and well-supported courses with the 50- and 25-mile options on this great ride.
