July 12th! I am going to do it!

[Jen-Jen]

I will be riding my first 100 at the Chelsea One Helluva Ride. I will not be the only TE'er there. Becca B and her hubby Tim are also going to join. I am very excited about tomorrow and I hope to meet Becca and Tim, as well.

I hope to snap a few shots of my ride and share them with you all.

Hope to find me breathing and standing after my ride!

I did it! It was a nasty century for my first! It was humid and then 35 miles into the ride to sky opened up and poured rain for the 10 miles or so. DH and I were soaked through, we even had mini lakes in our shoes! But, I kept on going and finally the last 50 miles it started to heat back up and the sun came back out. I then ended up with a nasty sunburn due to my last 50 miles in the sun since my sunblock washed off form the rain.

DH said we finished it in 6hrs and 45mins on petal. My average speed was 14.7. It was GREAT! Can't wait to do it again.

OKAY! I AM HOOKED!

I did it too, but a shorter distance. It was interesting to see where I fit in with a group, since it was my first group ride. I do know one thing, I will have to get different shoes because my feet were really hurting. Nobody else had the same kind of shoes I do.The snack breaks made it all seem more do-able.
