You are my hero for loving those hills. I think hills will be something I will always love to hate. I do love the descent though definitely. Sorry to hear that you had tummy problems. You're totally ready for that century! Thanks for sharing your tour story!

Congrats on a great (first) tour. Sorry about your upset stomach, but you pushed through and finished strong. Way to go!!
Sounds like a dreadful tour to me (hills and I have not made friends yet), but I love your spirit and your love of the hills. I hope to grow to love them one day like you do.
Great job!!!Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

No tomatoes for me! In fact I do not eat fruits or vegetables. I think I may have strained all of my stomach muscles on day 2 with having to pound thru the wind. I never had any "bathroom" issues if you know what I mean. I was still feeling it two days after the ride.

You and I sound like we have the same stomach. Most fruit and many vegetables always gives me a gut ache.
