I feel like a wimp.
Robyn... your goal should be reasonable for YOU! Good lord, I read some of the goals of the other women here and I KNOW there is NO WAY I could keep up! For my first 3 years of riding my goal for the following year was to ride ONE MILE more than the year prior! First year, 700 miles... goal for second year was 701 miles!

You are SO not a wimp! Anyone who rides 2375 miles in a year should be VERY proud of that... I know a whole lotta people who won't even consider dusting their old bike off and riding to the coffee shop! My personal opinion (not that you asked... hey isn't cyber space GREAT? ) is that YOU are a kick azz rider!!!


allabouteva... LOL yep, all in one day. It sounds MUCH more difficult than it is... I truly, truly believe that anything above 50 miles in a day is MENTAL! The hardest part after 50 miles is believing that you can do it! Corsair is right on... time is the biggest issue. My avg century is 6 1/2 to 7 hours ride time... I'm slow, but I always finish!
