Awesome report. DH wanted to do that and I informed him that we were quite far from ready. Maybe next year. Congrats!

Far out! That is so cool, and thanks for sharing the story with us.
I thought that looked like a Bianchi in your avatar. I'll be getting my Bianchi Veloce later this month--can't wait, especially after reading your story!Bad JuJu: Team TE Bianchista

Way to go, Sandy. It's so marvelous what bikes can do for people who have a little determination.

That is so terrific!!! I'm glad you had such a good time. Sorry you scraped your knee, but what would going that far be without a little war wounds to go with it. LOL
Congratulations!!!!
