So, I'm doing my first century tomorrow. Amtrak century from Irvine, CA to San Diego. I'm doing it with Dh on the tandem. He's done several on his own, but this will be my first ever and his first on a tandem. I'm feeling pretty decent about it. We've trained. Just praying my hoo ha holds up! I have been known to get numbness in my feet and up the back of my leg, but that seems to be better since Dh adjusted my seat two rides ago. Longest we went was 67 miles in horrid heat. However, the weather looks to be very nice tomorrow. 65-ish at the start. :D

Wish me luck! I'll let you know how it goes. :D

"Praying for the Hoo-Ha"....sounds like a good name for a book, a fiddle tune, or a painting or something.....

Jiffer, you'll do great. Doing a century on a tandem is a ton of fun, and you're clearly ready. Let us know how it goes.

I'm "clearly ready"? Well, thanks for the vote of confidence. :)

Who is the Hoo-Ha Goddess?
I need her to do me a solid, too.

Saw this too late, so hopefully you and your hoo ha have a great ride today. Have fun! :D (I'm sure your hoo ha will be just fine).

Yup, if you have already done 67 miles on the tandem, you are ready to do 100.

Oh, thank you all for a bunch of outright laughs!!!

Soooo...how's everything in hoo-ha-ville? (In other words, how was the ride?)

My Hoo-Haa had red welts on either side after yesterdays-almost-a-century (150km) and well... it will get better :D

as for Hoh-Haa goddesses; how about the
Callipygian Venus, meaning “of the beautiful buttocks.”

That's a great one! And, since we are talking Hoo-Ha, what about Juturna, Roman Goddess of Wellsprings! :)

Hope this picture works...I'm a little new to links for pictures...

Let's not get our hoo-haas and buttocks mixed up, shall we? ;)

OH. there's the non-native speaker.

I guess then I had my red welts somewhere else, too, and would not wish them in the "other area" on anyone else.

But hey, there's a goddess for everything.

OH. there's the non-native speaker.

Hey, I never heard it called that before I stumbled onto TE. :) I have learned a whole lot of euphemisms since I've come here!

You guys are cracking me up. I made a new thread with my official report of the ride. :)
