Congratulations! Well done. I still hope to do my first century this year. (So far I've only made it to 64.5 miles.)

Give yourself a great big pat on the back.:)

Congratulations!!! Awesome!

[Bad JuJu]

Wow, good for you! High five yourself! I've still only managed the metric century, though I've done several of those. Still got the 100-mile ride as a goal, though. Always lots of inspiration here--like you! :D

Awesome job - keep it up!:D

[Nokomis]

Thank you all! I've been walking with a spring in my step all day ~ amazingly, as I thought I'd be far more sore than I am. Just crossing my fingers that I don't get struck with the pain tomorrow.

The climbs were very challenging - DH is certain that these included the steepest grade that we've encountered so far. The #best# was taking a hairpin turn at about 4 mph that cut very hard upward, being passed by a series of cars, including a jacked up angry jeep or truck with yelling & honking -- my only thought was to keep myself upright & forward on pavement.

That said - I am not sure if I'm more proud that I managed to finish all those climbs in the seat & without stopping, or for getting to mile 90 into a headwind tucked behind DH maintaining 19mph. phew!

The max speed that I noticed was 37 - I'll have to check the computer because I'm sure we topped that.

Next 100 will be the Vine Ride Aug 19, with 2500 less feet of climbing :)

Congratulations! Your accomplishment inspires me to keep working toward my first century in September. No where near as much climbing, though! (I hope) ;)
