Jen, sure you can do it! May 2005, I couldn't do 3 miles on my hybrid without a lot of struggle, and my biggest ride by the end of 2005 was 20. Of course, technically, I haven't made my century yet, so I'm no expert. I think you have the right attitude about your body. Middle-age athletes have power AND wisdom!
Do you have an indoor training program for the winter?

latelate,,yes congrats for us all who even attempted the Seagull. Im so tickled that I found this site,,after that ride (which was my last before foot surgery) I just felt so,,,beaten. Yes we did finish it,,but still,,I just had never had a century feel so...umm,, ala "survival ~ mode"ish (jersey word!!)...there were truly times during my ride I couldnt believe I was actually going so slow!!! Now, after reading so many great posts,,and reasons "why,,or why not" or how each of us handled the ride,,Im FINALLY going to wear the famous tee...proudly!! hmmm,,now that my surgery went well,,wonder if I could muster up another ride before we all start w/spinning inside!!! great site!
I think for myself and choose my own hero's,,my goal is to be one of them.
