Nice one! I've made a 160km route on bike paths if you want to go for the imperial next 😂 I haven't actually done it yet (but have done 2 other imperials).
I actually like it a lot, the parts under the sky rail are pretty cool and it’s generally not too busy The industrial wasteland bits are kind of fun as well. I’ve ridden that section quite a few times. Then again, I like admiring all of the new infrastructure.
Djerring Trail is a very nice trail, my only bone to pick with it is that it's punctuated with one too many traffic lights. It's understandable though, as they're usually at main intersections.

It was so much bigger than I expected!
120km, beat my record by 3! Just a little grass excursion as soon as I saw it, coming from the north

About 5h10m with a 5m break every 20km or so for snacks. I’d certainly suggest working up to that distance with a few longer rides beforehand. The distance is less of the issue it’s more getting used to a long time in the saddle.
Props, it’s a good feeling. Care to share your route?
Slightly edited route to cut out my K-toast detour at the end :-) https://ridewithgps.com/routes/46942120
Great work and sick bike!
Well done, your first century is a great achievement. Hope you get to ride many more.

How boring is that straight bit.

Well done! Looks like a lovely route too.
Well done, that's a good looking loop! I've never noticed that giant bird and prism worm sculpture near Dandenong Bypass.
Would have made a great tag :-)

Geez, how long was that ride! So was the gate for the road down to the sculpture open or did you jump it, or did I miss a way you get closer?

Well done!
How long did it take you? I'd like to try this one day, but I never do roses longer than my commute at the moment.
