B I G C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S to you, mtbdarby!!! You did a fantastic job hanging in there. I don't think I could have even made it under 7 hours with 2 flats.
I got tickled reading about the nature break in the corn field. Course if I tried that, something would bite me on my bum.
I can't wait to try a century. I'm hoping I'll be up to it in October. Thanks for posting your story. You serve as an inspiration for first timers and veterans alike.

Wow! I finally got around to reading this and am thoroughly impressed. I love you likening it to having a baby. Not that I have had a baby but I am have had the same feeling about a previous suffer fest of a ride. You have true grit, I would say you definitely lived up to the CSC mantra!!
