Most excellent, Fredwina!!!
I did a 100 mile ride for a very wonderful Children's Hospital here in town. It was hot (99) and took me about 7.5 hours actual ride time. It was super hilly and insanely windy, but aside from that it was a GREAT day! My favorite part was the almost mile long really old yellow steel bridge. I rode with a friend who did her first century.
I forgot sunscreen on my thighs (which angered me because I always remember) and got the worst sunburn I've ever gotten. OTOH, I wore my arm coolers and my arms and shoulders stayed sunburn-free.
It really was a great day for riding, and knowing that I was doing it for a place that helps kids who may never ride a bike made doing it help me remember that I'm very blessed and lucky to be able to ride my bike.
