how hard IS a century?

I learned a lot from this thread too. Thanks for posting it.

You girls who can ride all these miles just ROCK!! You know that right.

I so want to get to the point to be able to do this someday. I just think a lot of weight has to come off first.

I agree - this is a great thread!

I just wanted to give you some encouragement on the weight issue - I won't admit how much I weigh, but I need to lose a LOT. I waited trying to lose weight and holding off riding. I'm doing MUCH longer distances now. I've not really lost weight (a lot of it has to do with my job), but I *am* meeting my distance goals. Our very own runningmommy is the one who got me to stop waiting and just get out there, and it was GREAT advice. I don't weigh what I want to, but I'm living my life!
