My first century was 4500 ft of elevation gain in Normal. I came in 2nd to last after an 85 year old woman who did a century every year on her birthday! I was 300lbs at that point, so it was quite an accomplishment I'm an 8-10 hour rider, but I always finish, and feel helllla good afterwards!

The greatest thing was my father giving me a hug after my first solo flight. He wasn't very affectionate.
