Great job! Listen to your coach, you are physically capable of doing the DR now, so the rest is all mental.
Sorry I missed you guys. I did have the option of riding to the summit, where we might have had more chance of bumping into one another, so to speak. I wimped out on that, though.

As someone who's hoping to do her first century in a year's time, I'm super-impressed (and inspired)! Way to go!

Thanks everyone!
Hey Wolfgirl, if it helps any, I started road biking in Dec 2003, right about the time I joined this forum, and I did my first imperial (100 mi) century in April of 2005. That first century had less than 1/10 of the climbing of the one I did Saturday.
So, anything's possible.

Good to hear! I'm not so great at the climbing aspect yet. I'm hoping some weight training (and loss) over the winter will help.

Congratulations!
I look forward to hearing all about the Death ride.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
