:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: As it is, we have a three car garage with no room for cars because of bikes!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

:rolleyes: I guess we could get rid of the water heaters, and one of the furnaces to make room:rolleyes: Of course, that might cut down on SilverDaughter's long showers:cool:

Actually, even with the cost of a Tandem, you might come out ahead. :rolleyes:

southernbelle... congrats! way to go...:D did ya save your number? I save mine... they're all taped on the garage wall :p makes me happy to look up there and see 'em...

as to your feet hurting... did they burn? I was getting "hot foot" as it's known... where they just burn. Two things I was told helped... one is that partway into the ride, loosen the straps on your shoes... as your feet get hot they swell and then they're squished... the other is that if the balls of your feet are burning, move the cleats just a little bit towards your heel... this helped me a TON in reducing hotfoot...

anyway, congrats again on your huge accomplishment...

Thanks BikerChick, but have done all that. This goes beyond hot foot. I'm hoping a pedal with a larger footprint will help.

It usually clears up in about 24 hours. It's akin to riding on bad bruises.

Congratulations!!! :cool: :D :cool:

Way to go!

Thanks everybody.

This has turned into the longest century thread. :o

Course we didn't exactly stay on subject.

Just had to add my congrats to the list. You did great!! How many other people will be able to say that they rode a 100+?

Just a tip for ouchie feet. I put two water bottles in the freezer (the kind that you would buy with water in them already). When I come home from long rides I roll my feet on them for 14-30 minutes. Heavenly.:D

SouthernBelle, congrats on your first century. Having just completed my own, I know the thrill of finally reaching that goal. Way to go!!!!!!

K-

Congratulations! I love reading posts like this…its inspiration for my own first century that’s coming up at the end of June.

Oh, it's gonna be hot in Hotlanta by then.

Congratulations Southern Belle!
