Super stories, Robyn and Deb
Thank you for sharing with us
You inspire me to get on and do something I have yet to do - a century!!!
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Bike snobs have to feel better than you about something... although in my Pollyanna perspective, I take "that's an old bike" or questions about weight as a compliment of my riding (and, in fact, it is often meant as such). They **wish** they could be so strong :-)
ConGRATS!

Robyn & Deb -
Congrats to both of you - it sounds like you triumphed in spite of our ever-wacky New England weather.

Congrats to both of you guys.
Don't you just love the hills around here Deb. I live on top of one of them so its always uphill on the way back. I'm really impressed with your speed and time. I hope you enjoyed the Blackstone Valley.

Congratulations Robyn & Deb
CONGRATULATIONS ROBYN & DEB!!!!! Two awesome ladies, I admire you both
Robyn Congratulations to you on your first century ! It really sounds as if you did an incredible job.... I loved reading your report.
********************************************************
Deb Congratulations to you on your first century ! The weather on Sunday was better than Saturday, for sure. On the "bike snobbery".... just ignore them..... some people are ignorant! You did an awesome job, that area is very hilly - your time was excellent!
Ben & I were set to go to the Tri-State on Saturday, but the weather here was pretty crappy. So, we waited..... (we'd only planned on 35/40miles,) .....and waited... We drove up to get our tee-shirts anyway
.
Talked with some riders who were riding in and leaving.... everyone looked pretty wet, muddy & miserable, but, they did it!
We're not ready to ride in the rain -- really don't want to -- It's not safe.
Peace & Love to you All,
Denise
