Yeee haaa is Right Tri!! goodonya for a job well done!! doesn't it just feel Great?? and see what I mean - it ain't the miles anymore, it's the time. I went straight from a metric (ok....74 miles) to a century coz I Knew I could ride 25 miles so what the heck!

as for the legs being a bit sore: elevate your legs after a ride like that. I usually try to eat within a 1/2 hr and get my legs elevated as quickly as I can. I try to keep them elevated for at least an hour or so, sometimes longer coz it just feels good on my legs. Too date I haven't had any leg issues and I usually do another 25 miles the next day just to keep the muscles fluid.
