allabout... CONGRATS! way to go... getting that first big ride under you belt really changes your persepctive and renews your faith in what you CAN do huh? good for you for completing this so well... and for climbing that hill! you have much to be proud of...

and I am impressed that your DH was so great and supportive... everyone falls at some point... I almost went down yesterday taking off and trying to talk, clip in and avoid a hole all at once... DOH! I kept it upright... but it was close...

keep us posted on the 100... we'll be your cheering section!
