Amtrak Century Anyone?

That's great! Chapeau to you both! I will definitely be there next year. I did 51 miles myself the weekend before the century and it kicked my butt. It was the furthest ride yet but it did include Santiago Canyon.

It was a blast. Thanks so much tangentgirl for letting me join you. i lied when I said that the only hill left after Bake was Torrey Pines. You were very kind after we did 10 miles of up and down hills on Marguerite and the little steep hills of San Clemente. There were a couple hills at mile 95 in San Diego we didn't know about.

Carinapir you could totally do it! If you can do 51 one miles you can slowly add 10 miles a weekend like I did and get up to 80 or 90 before the ride. I took 500 mg of Tylenol and 400 mg of ibuprofin at mile 50 and it helped my aching butt bones. Santiago Canyon rocks. Did it last week. Thanks for your support and cheering us on. Maybe we can all hook up next year.

I can't believe we did it tangentgirl can you? I'm still beaming and happy from our accomplishment. The ride on the train was crazy! Congo lines of people with mardi gras beads and a line of belly dancers with scarves with coins on their booties. They were very entertaining.

I'll be riding the MS bike ride on Oct 16 & 17. 50 miles each day. I know it sounds easy after riding 100 but it's for charity and a good cause and I don't know if it will be easy so soon after the century. It took 2 weeks for my quads to get back to normal.
