    Doing 1st century tomorrow ... praying for the "hoo ha"!

    So, I'm doing my first century tomorrow. Amtrak century from Irvine, CA to San Diego. I'm doing it with Dh on the tandem. He's done several on his own, but this will be my first ever and his first on a tandem. I'm feeling pretty decent about it. We've trained. Just praying my hoo ha holds up! I have been known to get numbness in my feet and up the back of my leg, but that seems to be better since Dh adjusted my seat two rides ago. Longest we went was 67 miles in horrid heat. However, the weather looks to be very nice tomorrow. 65-ish at the start.

    Wish me luck! I'll let you know how it goes.

    "Praying for the Hoo-Ha"....sounds like a good name for a book, a fiddle tune, or a painting or something.....

    Jiffer, you'll do great. Doing a century on a tandem is a ton of fun, and you're clearly ready. Let us know how it goes.

I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."
