Great job on your 1st century and not getting lost with the poor markings. Your officially a tuffy now.

Mimi, it was 3,888 with most of it in a 10 mile stretch. I knew the demons would come cuz I've heard other talks about it. That's why I wanted my first one to be an organized ride so I had someone to talk to. Oh well, I'm used to talking to myself![]()

that would have been disappointing for me too; to ride an empty course, expecting riding companions.
Having said that; it's really hard to find casual acquaintances that ride the same speed you do. Don't you have a bike club or something that you could ride with?
Well done! Sounds like a great day on the bike.

what a great story, and the time was super..congrats to you..and to do that with minimal support you deserve to be up on a podium..
Great job and good for you for persevering through less-than-ideal conditions. You did aweseom, but it's too bad the ride wasn't better organized. I hope they gave you an opportunity for some feedback. I'd tell them a thing or two!
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Great job! There will come another century that is well marked, well supported, and takes place on all paved roads! After this as your first one, you will feel like an old pro with a piece of cake! Congrats...you overcame!
