Congratulations on your century ride. I enjoyed reading your story and I think it's great that you learned something useful about yourself for next time. Nice job!

Congrats to you!
I recently did 30 miles without my computer working and it was very interesting. Scary at first, but it was over really quickly!
I hope to follow in your ladies' footsteps and ride the big 100 eventually!***proud Hoosier, statistics nerd, and mom to a headstrong toddler***
