Congratulations! What an adventure! I cracked up at your "mileage deficit"...yeah, you rode 198.5 miles, just not the same, right? I've been known to ride around my own neighborhood once or twice just so I could put a big round number in my mileage log. I know what you mean about the "shards of pain" feeling in the fingers. Glad you got the additional layers you needed.
And by all means, "ride 200 miles" seems like a reasonable reply to "I need to shop for Christmas"!
Keep it up--Lise

Ladyjai- Where did all of this mileage happen? City, Country, State???? Just so we can have an idea of where you were!!!!
I'm so impressed! The longest ride I've done was 140 miles. 200 sounds like a very loooooong way and a lot of time in the saddle. Did you have snack food on the way besides your mentioned stop?
Oh yes, the ride around the block to get that mileage in! I know it well! Congratulations on a job well done and fun story. Glad to hear your weren't hurt when you had that fall!

Awesome!!!! (Wishing the word weren't otherwise over used...) I also am curious as to your whereabouts. Sounds like some of those hill type things? May all the bozos be banished...
And I was going to "brag" that I was the fastest woman at our indoor time trial 10K last SUnday.... okay, I was the *only* woman...
It was on a Computrainer, and gave wattage output, too. Watt's the deal with wattage? Mine was 'way under everybody else's except for one lanky fellow (including the handful of fellows I went faster than)... is wattage basically how hard I'm pushing, or how much torque is on that little spinning thing?

Whoo-eee! Great ride report, and I am truly impressed...200 miles, much in the dark, in the cold, including a fall! I am once again inspired to work toward my goal of a century this year. I felt like I was right there with you as I read!
