Hi all... it's been a looooooong time since I last posted as I had some kind of computer glitch for a while... long story... but could log in and NOT post...???

anyway, some of you encouraged me when I was still very new at cycling (THANK YOU!)... and I'm happy to say that on Saturday I rode the Tour de Palm Springs... my first century!

completed it in 7 hours, 10 minutes... 103 miles... 14.37 mph avg... I felt great the whole ride and am already planning my next century ride... yup, I'm hooked!
