bikerHen,

Don't ever forget: you were among the riders that finished the ride. You will never know many of the wet weather wimps that quit would have finished after you, so you can say that they would have been behind you. (Ignorance is a powerful tool - sometimes)

And, hey, you got up the hills, even having a plan for a particularly nasty one. Good thinking.

Ya done good, don't tell yourself otherwise.
