good for you!! 20 miles is a long ride. good luck on the 25 and, I agree, take along some food, plenty to drink (with electrolytes) and have fun.

Thanks, everybody, for the congrats! You've made my day! I would celebrate my milestone by buying myself something special, but I already did---ahead of time---via shameless self-indulgence during this week's Terry 50% off sale!
I'll definitely take some healthy nibbles with me on my next long jaunt.......I was fine until I hit about mile 17 or 18. Right about then, I started to hear tiny Hershey's chocolate bars calling to me from my truck!

Congratulation! You have every right to be proud of yourself! I'll bet the mind had a lot to do with you reaching your goal. It's amazing what we can do when we set our minds too it....our bodies just seem to tag along for the ride.
