Congratulations!!!
I've been looking forward to reading about your ride. I loved your ride report and have been so inspired by your training; you've really accomplished something amazing for yourself and are right to be proud.
I'm looking forward to the pictures.

Oh my goodness !
I cannot begin to express how impressed I am.
You most definitely ROCK !
I'm so glad this turned out so well for you.
You're an inspiration to me. I need to print out your post and pin it up on my wall. And I should carry it with me when I have those moments of self-doubt that I succumb to all too often.

Jo: Uh, Jo? You are one of my heroes from Climbing Club!
Mimitabby: Pics are still in the little camera I bought at Safeway! I'll post some pics in a few days!
SmilingCat: Did I notice the particularly vivid blue sky? Uh, where I live, it rains another inch for every mile you drive west (until you actually hit the North American Rain Forest). I noticed immediately that there was blue sky (and hot weather, and air that lets you hang something up overnight to dry without turning on the heater in the bathroom). Yep...I LOVE this kind of country. Makes me homesick for my years in Eastern WA.
Thank you all so much for helping me celebrate!Last edited by Starfish; 08-06-2007 at 09:10 PM.

Wow.
I really can't say much more. I am speechless. (Those who've actually met me know that's saying something.)

Well, here are a couple of things to chew on: Originally Posted by Starfish

Oh, and you say it was a series of out & back climbs? Well if I were on your ride, I would have likely bailed when the going got tough.
In fact, on my ride this weekend the opportunity presented itself so I cut out the last few miles to the top of Mt. Tam. Your tenacity is really something.
So there. You're my hero now. Deal with it.

Not by myself, believe me. There are some certain TE women who practically held the handkerchief while I blew my nose crying & worrying for months. Originally Posted by onimity
