Hey Zondian,
Congrats- sorry I didn't write back on the PM I have been swamped with school,work, and just life.
Where was the 4-5 mile climb? I lived in Albuquerque for a couple months this summer(long story) and I am just curious.
I know the Albuquerque Century does the same thing, it finishes coming up tramway from the casino(it is a 4 mile climb, 3,000 ft) I used to do that climb in all my training rides, and I am not sure if I would want it at mile 91-hehe.
Glad you had such a good time!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You probably read my report of my first century on a tandem with Dh. I'm guessing had I been on my own bike, I might have done about the pace you did yours. Excellent job. Don't you just feel so good about your accomplishment. Every once in a while it hits me and I say out loud, "I did a century!"
I'm looking forward to my first on my single. Hopefully it will be as pleasant as my first on the tandem.
Congrats again!!!

Well Done Zon! Abq has a century they put on every year also that's pretty gruelling but fun. There should also be a half century coming up on the Bosque sometime in Oct I think.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
