My first century

[roadstergal]

aka 100-mile bike ride. I did it. That's about all I can say...!

I've done 60-70ish mile rides; I did a 65 a few weeks ago. So, I thought, what's another 35?

Finishing at all is doing well, in my book. Though having it be enjoyable is a worthy cause. :)

I will do the Cinderella Challenge full century next year - very B-road-y, and the weather should be better! (Maybe not, though - it rained one year...)

Wow, congrats! You're an inspiration!

I dunno, sheesh, I'm *still* trying to get down to a 6-hour century; you rocked that thang!!

I'm just glad I did it! And I feel all inspired, now that my legs have recovered. I think I'll try the Cinderella Challenge next year, and the century Gran Fondos. Echelon does a pretty nice Fondo, but I did the 65-milers previously.

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!
