    Well, I did the 100k ride in 5:20. Pretty sad, but I did have a nasty headwind the last 12 miles and there were a lot more hills than either of us expected, four or five pretty nasty ones. My left knee got pretty whiny, but so far that's the worst for me. The Trek, however, has a possible headset issue that's come up, so I have to get it to a mechanic to add to the costs incurred so far.

    Believe me, I can't believe how minor my injuries (or the bike's) were!

    sounds like you did great. for someone who doesn't like hills in particular!
    I'm really impressed that you got back on and rode after your experience 3 days before. Don't sell yourself short. that's an accomplishment.
