Today was my first 25 mile ride and I finished. I am so proud of myself. The hills were monsterous to me and I did not walk the bike at all. There were times when I thought I would die and give up but my hubby was there to cheer me along and support me through the tough moments. Now I am looking forward to the next ride.

Way to go!!! Keep doing those hills and before long you'll be looking for more of a challenge because they'll be too easy for you!

Yahoo and congrats!
You might want to do a really slow, easy, short ride tomorrow to spin some of the lactate out of your legs.
Just think - only three more 25-milers & you'll be doing a century!To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

I think this is just a start for me and I am so excited to try something else soon. Good job to all those that did a ride today as well. I will go back out tomorrow just to spin for about 7 miles if my bumm can handle it LOL
