Hey Corsair (or Kathie!) -
Congrats! Riding a century is an awesome accomplishment - and riding one solo is even more so.

Thank you Susan, Jeff and all the members of Team Estrogen

I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to all the members/mentors of this board. I completed my first century today - ever. Self-supported. I wouldn't have even considered it if it wasn't for the support and the advice on this board.
Susan,Jeff: Thanks for having a forum where such great advice is offered making a dream possible for some of us.
Members of the board: Thank you so much for your support, your help, your advice and your caring. I'm not sure I would've even dreamed of attempting something like this without all your help. You made me realize A) I Could do this and B) I could do this alone.
Thank you all for helping me to achieve a huge goal of mine for this year!

Total Road Time: 7:45Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Wow, Kathie, that's awesome! I've done a few centuries, but never self-supported. I can't imagine getting along without the great rest stop goodies! You have my deep admiration. Congratulations!

Congratulations!!!! I did my first few un-supported - what a treat it was when I did a real live organized one! Be careful though,... centuries are addictive!

I've been thinking about you Corsair -- I think we (TE members) have created a monster (a cycling Amazon, I should say)! Congrats!
