welll, last year my now husband (sorry, still getting used to it...) did the 200k and of course said that I could "easily" do the 100k but just to take it as slow as necessary. He's always saying things like that (oh, that hill isn't much at all, c'mon!) and then I find out that despite a few years of riding together, he still has no idea what my idea of a challenge is... Anyway, I signed up pretty early in the year, figuring that with training I could do it. We got married this summer in Rhode Island, so we spent about 10 days there before the wedding and then a week on honeymoon after. Well, RI is flatter than WI (my parents live on an island there, which is super flat) so between that and wedding prep, we didn't do much training there. Then no biking on the honeymoon. We returned to RI, drove for two days to WI, and then the next day was the Dare . I ALMOST didn't do it but DH convinced me. I made it, slowly, but have been bitten by the organized ride bug, and I'm hoping to actually train and do the 200k next year.

when is the door county century?
