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

You know you were instrumental in helping me get there. Truly, if it had not been for you, I don't believe I would have made it to the start line. Thank you. And, I think it is a ride you would enjoy. Shasta is a volcano, you know!

I was glad to help. Although, all I did was give you a swift kick in the butt every now and then - virtually of course. Originally Posted by Starfish

Just kidding, of course!
Thanks to all of you for your warm responses...it is so wonderful to be celebrated. If you aren't already asking for lots of encouragement and cheerleading, I highly recommend it!

Starfish!!! You rocked it. Awesome!!
You know, I think you broke my record for the most climbing in one ride.
You did a great job reporting your ride as well. I love the chapters approach.
You are a climbing queen.

What a great accomplishment! Brag on about the stats! They are amazing!
You have EARNED it! Your story is joining some others on my fridge to keep me motivated! Way to go!
It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)

Just Fabulous! What an amazing and great ride and vivid write up. It feels like we were all there with you. Totally amazing.
And the tapering and training really worked too.
Congrats on not being totally fried afterwards, which is another tribute to your training.
I though of you as I was romping over the little hills of MA - glad to know you were having an amazing experience.
I hadn't realized what a tough year you had before the ride, also an inspiring healing process - hats off to you .
Lisa
