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.Originally Posted by jobob
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.

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

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!!!
