Good for you, cookie. You still had a great ride but knew when to stop, which seems pretty smart and good to me.

Personally, I think being able to DNF with dignity is a goal worth attaining. Listening to yourself on occasion is a good thing :)
134 miles and umpteen thousand feet of climbing is nothing to sneeze at. You are one of my cycling heroes, DNF or no.
I agree with Kim 100%.Quote:

Well done MP.:)
I have a lot of respect for people who know their limits and honor them! You still went three times farther than I've ever been! ;)

Very impressive ride Sarah! You should be proud of yourself. :)
MP: I totally agree with everyone here. Looking at what you DID ride, I'm SOOOOO IMPRESSED!!!!! That looks just absolutely horrible to me! Way to go and I can already see that you'll be back from your comments. ;) Rest up well.
MP..all i have to say is..you're one amazing rider :D
Thanks for inspiring others :)
+2 - I am in awe! Knowing that you're idea of a casual ride is my idea of an epic one and knowing that you have the sense to stop when your body says to just inspires me more.Quote:

The important thing is you didn't get hurt. and you are not totally wiped out. Just be happy for making the right decision at 134 miles. :D
I can't tell you how proud I am of your accomplishment. To come pack after multiple PE's and to do this very strenuous ride says so much about your character. I have as much, if not more, respect for you.
