Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Woot!
Drove 2 hours east to Carrollton, Ga., on Saturday to do the West Georgia 100 on Sunday, my 2nd charity ride. I did my first continuous 50 miles. Yeeha! I certainly could have done a few more to get my first metric century but it was getting VERY hot and I knew I was already getting sunburned, despite precautions. Anyhoo, I know I'll get my first metric century this summer, and that makes me happy, considering I got my road bike in February.
Next March (06) I'll celebrate my 50th birthday. I plan to do a 100-mile century before then. Can you say...
MIDDLE AGED CRAZY!!!
in all the right ways. This board is such a fun, supportive group of friends. Thanks so much for all you're teaching me!
