I can't believe I rode the wholllle thing ... !

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.

I, too, am impressed!!! Living in the flat lands of the plains- those of you who live in mountainous areas impress the heck out of me.
The Death Ride scares the bejeebers out of me. I think all that training you've done is almost as impressive as the ride itself.
You'll do GReAT! It's all mind over matter. You can do it!!!
