My First Century!!

[SouthernBelle]

Why do I see my mother?

Congradulations! All this century talk makes me want to do one.

Also this is all so funny!

OK, now that I'm in the century club, let me give you some advice:

Take the box off your head!

That avatar is hilarious!

Even with the little eyeholes, her vision is terrible. & every stroke of the pedals goes, "bump-box, bump-box."

And I have been wondering what that click sound was when I pedaled! I could only hear it when i was riding the bike- the mechanic at REI thought I was crazy!

ps the box is for aerodynamics

I have that same thing going on heaven help us.

Why do I see my mother?

It's the Aunt Jamima head wrap.

Congratulations.............I hope to do one before the year is over. The furthest I've ridden was 62 miles. How many hours did it take you???? I'm going to try 72 in 3 weeks. You should be real proud of yourself.

When I look at my pictures, I may see chubby...but one thing I can safely say...I've never seen my mother. Phew!

[SouthernBelle]

Suzie, my moving time was 7:27. But at the end, actually about the last 30 miles, my feet were in such bad shape that my force on the pedals was next-to-nothing.


Mr. S. Get a head wrap & earrings, then look for your mom.

Although, Meg, my mom never wore a buff.

I thought it looked rather piratey.

I have pedals sitting in my cart at Nashbar. I should go ahead and buy them.

Let me come over and congratulate you here too Southern Belle

the pics were great!

Way to go - a century is a great feeling. You will savor your first for a very long time. Even if you do many more, nothing beats the feeling of the first

[SouthernBelle]

Thanks all.

Despite my holiday laziness, I'm heading out shortly to spin out my legs.

[cosc]

Way to go on your first century. Sounds like your feet are better if your going for a spin. What kind of pedal are you thinking about purchasing? Misaligned
Ride is close to my sister's home which would give me another great reasons to visit her.

There are so many of us that could meet up for a centralized ride.

Maybe some of us could do the HOW100 in September. I'm planning on it. It's a women's ride & we could get Mr. Silver to be our own personal SAG. Or if he and Silver could get a tandem, then he could ride.

COSC, I got the Shimano A520 Sport/Touring pedal. Click me. Since I am used to SPDs, and the price was right, I figured that was a good tryout.

I eagerly await them.
