Huzah! Huzzah!!!
A friend of mine did his first century with me Sunday. He's been riding for y'ars and just never had the time to be in shape *and* have the weather ortiming work. It didn't really work this time, either - 20 mph winds and gusts to 30 - but we had BIG GUYS in the club pulling us along for the first two loops (70 miles)... yea, we took our turns too but we couldn't have done it on our own... and they could have left us in the prairie debris had they wanted to. We eked out that last 30 by doing 2 15 mile loops instead of 1 x 30...
He says today: Now I know how to do a hundred miles: you keep riding.

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Congratulations!
I did my first two weekends ago.
It was great. I loved it.
But since then I have been on no rides, and getting frustrated!
good for you... it's a great milestone.I can do five more miles.

Thanks everyone! You've made me feel good about my mediocre performance. Yep, I'm pretty sure I've been bitten by the bug...but at least now I've proved to myself that I can do it. Thanks K. DDH, yes you know all about the wind that day! Congrats on your ride too.
