    Silver's Long Ride - 140

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    I'm at the Hampton Inn in New Albany, Indiana waiting for Silver...it's dark, but she's within a mile of completing the New Harmonie/New Albany ride. Unfortunately, I just talked to her and in the last mile, they TOOK A WRONG TURN!

    This is 140 miles across Indiana from the Wabash River to the Ohio River.

    Hooray for Silver!

    Ouch on the wrong turn! Did that about 2 miles from the end on my first century. I was nearly in tears.

    Can't wait for the ride report.

    Congrats to Silver!!!!

    I got lost and added 10 miles to a century on a weekend that I planned on back-to-back centuries. I almost cried. Luckily, I was able to cut out a 10 mile loop later in the ride, and completed both centuries. Yippee for me!
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    Yeah..great job Silver.....but I'm almost kinda MORE impressed by the fact that she married a Mr Silver who is not only waiting for her, but took the time to write and tell US about her accomplishment...

    that girl got stamina AND smarts!!!!

    Discipline is remembering what you want.
