Congratulations to all of you who completed your first C or simply went farther than you've gone before. Before you know it you'll be knocking out the same distance over and over...
sulis, I don't have a message telling me I won the bike...if I did I'd give you the wheels.I've seen several wheelsets on craigslist lately, including some pretty nice ones for a good price. I know you'd really like a new bike, but until then a new wheelset may make a big difference (it did for me until I got my new bike).
Tater, we were sure you'd catch us because you're so speedy! Glad you had a good ride!

Hey, everyone! I'm back a day early as Bubba, being a good attorney and employee for the great state of Kahlifornia, had to get back for some surprise early filings. Trying to get through all the posts and emails and snailmail and snuggle the dog and . . . and . . . and . . .
Anyway, I had an absolutely wonderful time. Glad to meet those of you that I did and sorry I missed others. Sorry that Jobob and Trekhawk couldn't make it this year as the planning and execution this year was absolutely superb. Due to Bubba's mom's issues, we couldn't hang around much looking for anyone. Tater, I do remember you shouting at us as we left. I hope you heard us shout back.
Tammy emailed me and should be posting soon. We had a great time with her company. Keep an eye out for her!
I have to say I'm thrilled with my new PB which was well beyond last year's. Training at sea level and riding at 4,500'+ elevation must be good for me. I felt the best I ever have after a century. Of course, let me tell you about the 21 miles of epic singletrack yellow then hauled me around the next day at, actually above, Park City. I actually still felt good and was climbing pretty decently even as we approached 8,700 ft. Something must be working in my lackadaisical and totally unfocused training plan, or my body likes elevation. I'll let you know how it goes in a couple weeks when I have to ride over a pass way, way, way above Telluride.

Im going to start calling you the machine. Perhaps you will have to ride with only one leg when we get together for a ride in the future.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Hi Everyone,
Great reports by all! I loved reading all of the details.
My daughter attends UU and I think I just found another excuse to visit her! A great ride, an opportunity to meet lots of other te'ers, and a really cute ride jersey...I want one!
See ya'll next year!

Still coming down from the high!
How are you all doing now that a few days have passed?
I was SO tired yesterday. DH gave me a certificate for a massage. That combined with fatigue from the ride and I was WORTHLESS!
I feel much better today.
It is great to hear how all of you did and to see some pictures of all of you. Thanks for the pictures. Keep more coming if you have them.
Alex - First century - way to go!
Lifeisgreat - 80 miles - wow- any plans for a century?
Sadiekate - PB - that is great, too. How many cent's have you done?
Yellow - Awesome century!
Sulis - how far did you get before the wheel problem? How's your outlook?
Tater - another PB - YEAH Idaho woman
sbctwin - Great for you! I think that I rode behind you for about 5 miles. Were you at the rear of a line before the marina stop? If so, thanks for letting me have fun at the back of your line!
I wanted to comment to Bikedutchess that I think it is GREAT that your daughter accomplished something like this with you. You will have that memory for a long time. You are such an awesome mom. My mom would have NEVER done anything like that with me. I hope to take my two daughters with me one day. Not only that, but that is a great feat for a young woman. How old is she?
I am sure I missed mentioning someone - sorry
I now have an avatar picture that is official - woo hoo!!
I found another picture that turned out well of ladies lining up at the start:Last edited by Flybye; 06-05-2008 at 01:09 PM.

Hi Flyby...If it was the first rest stop, I led our group into the Marina...about the only time I 'led' our group. I am feeling very good. Sunday, I was moving in slo-mo but I wasn't doing too bad. I couldn't even sleep in past 5:30am on Sunday morn. I did my commute to work on Monday, and my commuter bike definitely felt kind of 'off'. Today, no commute because I had to take my dear Kallie girl to the vet. She lost another 3/4 lbs since the last vet visit and the vet said that for a kitty who was on death's door in April, she is doing wonderfully.
I took my Bella in to have the gearing checked for my Tour de Cure ride this weekend. After my century, doing only 60 miles on the Tour should be easy
