The first metric century I've done since my bike fit and corrected pedaling technique. I started off pretty tired after the previous day's ride back from the usual Christmas visit, when I pushed myself really hard, but still managed this time.

Retraining my legs after a bike fit.
A couple weeks or so before this ride, I had a bike fit done on my Crust Romanceur. Pedaling felt really strange, but the bike fitter said I'd have to change my pedaling technique, which previously consisted of driving my heels down and trying to reach all the way down to the bottom of the pedal stroke. This ride started the journey of changing to a proper spin.
This was also my first ride with TRP Hylex hydraulic brakes, which I switched to after my previous TRP Spyre cable disc brakes would completely lose their adjustment after a week. The issue with the latter is that I'd worn through the threadlocker that held the adjustment screw's positions, and braking over time would slowly back my brake pads out each time until pulling the brake levers all the way to the handlebars wouldn't fully apply the brakes.
