5 days post PBP and I got back in the saddle today! I was definitely getting antsy for a ride. Good news is that my hands didn't go numb, my butt didn't hurt and my knees weren't putting up too much of a fuss.
Wasn't a particularly long or difficult ride, but I got out there. And it was stunningly gorgeous (I'm in Chamonix.) thinking of tackling something epic tomorrow.... ;)
I believe in truth in advertising.:p. It's an incredible experience and a fantastic goal to have. I'm not at all sorry I did it. The experience will stay with me for the rest of my life. That said, I'm not planning to come back for an encore. Not unless they move the locale to Chamonix. This place is so scenic that it would be worth the agony. I think.
GLC is right. I've got ironman in my sights for 2012. Probably Canada, but I'm not 100% sold on that yet. Was thinking of rev3 instead. Will decide soon.
Oh, and the face stuffing has commenced with abandon. I'll be needing to drop some pounds when I get home!:eek: this place is dangerous.
What an amazing accomplishment! I can't even imagine riding my bike for that many hours day and night!
I hope you get to enjoy Paris now and get some well deserved rest.
Wow!:):)
An amazing, epic journey you've had! I am in awe. You've got the mental fortitude and physical strength to accomplish whatever you decide is your next goal. I look forward to that adventure.
Ditto and double ditto to all the other kudos.
Simply amazing, inspiring and just, well, wow.
Great accomplishment and thank you for sharing.
What everyone else said. Absolutely awesome accomplishment. Congrats and enjoy France! Linger if you can!
I climbed alpe d'huez yesterday! :D
I believe that entitles you to more croissants! :) Velonews has a nice write-up about PBP: http://velonews.competitor.com/2011/...e-event_190550.
