I WILL have my first century as soon as possible next season unless I can figure out a way to sneak it in during the winter. I have 7 metrics under my belt now and I wanted to get another last Saturday, but again daylight (lack of) and cold knees slowed me down. If I can manage it all I WILL try for at least ONE more metric before the end of the year.
YOU inspired me to try my first. Remember, I want to be YOU when I grow up.
well shoot - does that mean I gotta grow up now?? - as for riding in the cold, it just takes longer and yeah - that daylight thing is kind of a bear to work with but I have all the faith in you girl!
Don't tell Surly but it was 22 with a wind chill of 18 during my morning commute today - I looked like the Michelin Man!!!
