I have a similar story. I began riding again after 17 year hiatus and met a rider my first year who brought up the subject of Centennial. I had never heard the term prior to meeting him. With that being said, I set a goal to ride a Centennial. COVID allowed me to ride freely in the streets and smaller goal to train for the Centennial was to ride 30 miles every other day. That year (2020) I rode 3500 miles. Haven't done the Centennial yet but I will. 63 now so it's never too late,
