Thanks, everyone!
Nanci - I'm going to suggest 3 Gap (I believe that 6 will be too much for us) to my DH tonight. Maybe I'll see you there!

Congratulations! Thanks for posting such a detailed re-cap, I really enjoyed it. I'm doing my first metric in a couple of weeks, then I'll shoot for a century next year. Your story was inspiring, even for my metric.
The best part about going up hills is riding back down!

The Centuries definitely get easier and take less time the more often you do them at least that is what I've found. Congrats on your first, you will ALWAYS remember it!
Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

Way to go!
I just got my first one done too. and I just got my bike a year ago July

It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
