    Yeah..great job Silver.....but I'm almost kinda MORE impressed by the fact that she married a Mr Silver who is not only waiting for her, but took the time to write and tell US about her accomplishment...

    that girl got stamina AND smarts!!!!

    Discipline is remembering what you want.

    AWESOME! So are you doing the Indiana Coast to Coast next year, or maybe the new RAINStorm ride?

    Way to go Silver!!! Can't wait to hear your report.

    I will be the first to admit I haven't found the moxie to commit to anything over a century. Heck, I cried when my first century didn't end when my odometer hit 100.

    OK!! just a start...I don't know where to begin....

    total miles for the day 139 miles 17 mph average!

    We took a wrong turn on the last 2 miles and it got dark. Thank goodness I had some lights!

    It was a perfect day for a ride. Mostly wind at our backs, Fall leaves, lightly trafficked roads. some flats, some rolling hills, some "real" hills and some lovely downhills! cows, horses, vistas and farmlands. mr. waiting for me at the end!

    It was lovely. I didn't have as much push after 100 miles but could have gone on farther if we'd had more daylight. We'd like to make this an annual or semi annual event and we learned a lot to improve it next time.

    I'm looking forward to doing more long distances. I really love it!!!!

    PS: I passed 6,000 for the year on the ride!

    Congrats Silver on both the ride and the 6,000 miles! I just read about RAINStorm last week and it sounds like a winner.

    Beautiful pictures silver! It looks like the weather in Indiana is still wonderful! What a fantastic day and ride you and your friends had. I especially loved the pictures of the three of you standing along the Ohio River with the sun going down. I'm also jealous that you got 6,000 miles logged in this year and you finished a 139 mile ride! I'm going to use you as my inspiration for next year! Time for me to get my @&& in gear and start riding a lot more again! Congratuations again . . . you rock!

    Great Job Silver - You've come a long way this year!

    And, you dragged Mr. Silver in too! It's great that you both have the same interest and can enjoy each other's milestones
