YIIIPPPYYYY!!!!! your new personal best! I am glad to see that article has hit some people! It is something I deal with all the time (my riding partner/friend and my hubby are much faster than me) but man, has that motivation pushed me to be better than I have ever been...still not as good as them but MY BEST!!!!

You will conquer 50 miles soon...from some of your previous posts you have been through some trying times! You will soon find that energy(edit: meant to say happy butt...boy I know what you mean...I have had a saddle sore that won't quit!! arg) (and hopefully that tail wind) and ride beyond what you ever thought you could!

I am glad you tried and you have a positive attitude!!!
