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!

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.

I did enjoy your hills, or at least the first 70 miles of them. One long downhill was quite a blast at 45 mph. But that long uphill 3 miles before the finish I could have done without. Nice scenery out there. Even saw a few llamas. And the few busy roads we were on had very wide shoulders.
