when I first started riding I would set myself a mileage goal first 25, first 50, first 75 and when I accomplished it I would put a yellow star decal on the top bar of my bike. The first time I did a century, I put a big red star on the bar. I continue to celebrate metric centuries (66.6 miles) with a yellow star and centuries with a red star. It's a good reminder when I have my head down and am struggling up a hill or through heavy headwinds.


Congratulations on the ride. It's a keeper annd great for mental dialogues with other people giving you a hard time. "You, who are you, what have you done witth your life lately? I am a distance rider and can do it any time I want so there.!"
