double century!

yeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Lady - and the fans go wild!!


as soon as you said "railroad tracks at Elliot and Kyrene" I knew Exactly what tracks those were - coz they took me down Bad once. Scared me bad enough I stopped trying to bike commute coz there wasn't any other way to work - my office was right off Kyrene. I'm glad to hear you and the bike were ok - and now you've inspired me to try my first double.......I'll wait til it's a little warmer tho!

Nicely done my friend!


and TH: so far all my centuries have been alone and totally self-supported so yes, you Can do it!! Just beware: one won't be enough!

good lord lady! YOU are a STUD- ette! woot!!! way to go... my brother is trying to convince me to ride doubles with him....:eek: :eek: :eek:

way to go!:D

Who is the "weaker sex...?" You're a woman after my own heart. Christmas presents? Nah - let's ride!!

Incredible achievement. Especially in the early morning - my fingers ached for you. And to keep going after you biffed on the tracks - most excellent!

I used to live at Elliot and Rural (Terrace, actually). I can't believe where you rode!!! I feel like a total wimp because I didn't make my measly 2500 mile goal. Well, it's too cold now..

I probably will be in the valley in April. I wrote something on the SW thread but no one answered. Where can we ride, without being on roads like Elliot???

Any century on your own up there where you live would also include a whole lot of climbing. I'm pretty sure there is a brevet or two in the valley not too far from you. Again, I defer to SK.

And LadyJai...my gawd, woman, you ROCK! I agree with what Trek said: :eek: :p

Thanks for the link Yellow I will check it out.:)

Lady,

Have no IDEA where you rode....... but it does not matter!!! You did 200 *#!%#* MILES! In one day. On your bike. At this time of year. Amazing and inspiring! You go! Right now, where I am, with 16 in. of snow, and temps hovering around 0-10 F, biking any distance outside is a dream of warmer days to come............ and STILL, I wouldn't be riding any 200 miles. You rock!!
