My STP report...

[bikerchick68]

oh Mimitabby!!! Dang, I wish I had known too... how fun would it have been to get to meet in person...

yeah, the heat was oppressive especially with the humidity, which I am not used to at all... I was INCREDIBLY grateful to all the local citizens who hooked up hoses with misters for us to ride thru... they were along the route at different points and we rode thru every single one. At one point there were two little girls holding up hoses for us to ride thru... I could've stopped to hug them they were so darned cute!

Bklynmom... I hope your ride is terrific! Just pace yourself and ride your own ride. I'm not as "fast" as others but I have excellent endurance at my own pace I'm pretty danged proud of myself to be honest.

Dex... yep, I was actually glad we went further. It made for a more relaxing day 2. I could have finished with a faster time. At the end of the 154 we were at 14.7 mph avg... but day 2, I wanted to just cruise and ENJOY the scenery ya know? Being from out of town, I really enjoyed how incredibly pretty everything is... glad you had a good ride too, and REALLY hope the knee heals quickly for you. Nothing worse than knee probs.

Great job!!! Thanks for sharing your ride report.

I did a 160 mile ride this past Saturday and went nowhere near my bike the next day. Kudos to you for getting back in the saddle on day two and rockin' out another 55 miles!!!!!

Trekhawk... thanks SO much! I've told friends who aren't riders... and they know it sounds like a lot... but it's nice to receive congrats from riders who GET IT!

Kathie... aw, thanks... It could be one of the coolest things I've ever done...

Jo-n-NY... thanks so much... I'd do it again in a heartbeat! It was a great ride...

Indysteel... you GO! 160 miles is a loooooong way huh? It was funny, on the bus ride home, I was sitting there realizing it's insane to ride a bike that far Really puts it in perspective when the bus trip home is 3 hours...

It was surreal driving back home from the end of the ride to Indianapolis. I kept thinking "I just rode more than double this on my bike!!!!" Crazy, but oh so much fun. And my ride wasn't even as scenic as yours. I'm gonna have to look into the STP. I wish it was easier to travel with my bike. Sigh......
