WOW!!! That's impressive. It's an incredible accomplishment to ride your first century under those conditions! I worked SAG at my club's century event on Sunday (Lake Nockimixon, in Bucks Co.,PA)...and I had to admire the riders that braved that rain! And there were only a handful that stuck it out for the century, and the ones that did were hardcore! You should be so proud!!! (Warning: shameless Suburban Cyclest Unlimited plug) We would NEVER close a rest stop if we knew there were still riders out there!
I love the Pumpkin Patch Pedal, it's my favorite ride of the year! I would be happy to ride it with you and I promise, I won't bail, no matter how hard it rains!

Thanks to all for your replies! It's so nice to know that people took time to read my report!
AllezGirl I will definatelly contact you if i will be able to ride the pumpkin patch ride, as of right now I am not shooting for 100 miles, maybe 60 and then I will take it from there. Email me or pm me marinakogan@aol.com. Also, as for the girls who bailed out, I don't blame them. One of them barely rides ( I had no idea, she said she is a strong ride) and the second one already did many centuries so I guess she was not as motivated as I was. I hope it's not raining on pumpkin because I want to do it to be able to make up for the scenery I was not able to enjoy.
