1st Century/Thanks all for your support!

It went well, and I finished in one piece, and did better than I thought. I did the Enchanted Circle tour in RedRiver, NM and my start to finish was 7:05 and ride time 6:22. I was pretty pleased with this. There was a yucky 4-5mile climb at mile 91, but that made the subsequent downhill to finish very rewarding. I am looking forward to another one, I really enjoyed it, except for the last couple miles of that climb, it was a little tortorous . . .

Thanks again to everybody who helped me with advice and concern, I really appreciated it!

You should be VERy pleased and proud, that is excellent, thanks for the report and sharing your good news!

Congratualtions. What a great job. Now get some rest and eat. I was hungry for days after I did my first one earlier this year. Pretty impressive climbing during your century! When's your next one?

Wow- your ride time is AMAZING!!! That was close to my time for my 1st century and it was mostly flat with a couple rollers (nothing even near the mountains you climbed).
I bow down to your mountain-goat climbing skills.

Congrats!!!! You should be VERY proud of your accomplishment. We all knew you could do it- and were here cheering you on the whole way! Way to go.

When's the next one?

Congrats!!! How did you become a mountain goat in 1 month? 6:22 is an awesome time with mountains. Will I see you out there next year when I try to attack this ride?

Glad to hear it went a-ok for you! We just wanted you to have fun, and you did, so there you go!

Are you hooked? You going to get yourself a road machine after all this, and become a TE regular?

I am thinking about the Moab century in early October, and I might have a riding partner to go with this time - even better! Time to start planning though, because this is already addicting, and things at home have been neglected, ugh, housework. Which is why I drove 7hrs home on Sunday and then cleaned house for 3 hours . . . Guilt is a strong motivator.

I just can't say enough how much I appreciate this support! You guys are just so cool and good role models. I am endeavoring to be as supportive to others as well.

Definitely want to do this one again, I hope I'll see you there Amanda

I will wave to you as you truck off with all your Mountain Goat Prowess. Seriously, I am in awe!! Your time is on par with my last two hilly centuries. Hills not mountains.

Do you have any pictures to share?
