Metric Century - Celebration!

[Gypsy]

Hello all!

I just wanted to post about my new achievement, a metric century -- and I did ride all 62.14 miles to get the exact 100 km -- this morning!

We had some difficulties from the start, my group of friends and I started off in the freezing cold weather, which could have made for a miserable ride. But we rallied and we pushed through. Yay us! But I knew that we had taken some short cuts, so we weren't going to make the 62/100 exactly, so I told them I wanted to do the extra miles. I took off, somehow managed to plan the exact distance (actually, I thought it would be more, so I barely scraped on that number).

YAY! I'm so happy!

My friends aren't so goal oriented so they aren't exactly in the same state of amazement that I am. So, I'm sharing here because I think you ladies understand!

Now, to focus on the next century.

So happy for you!!!! I have yet to do that - most I have done at one time is 54 miles. That would be a great goal to make for myself. Where do you live? I live in South Georgia and riding today was really cold.

BRAVO!!!! You should be very proud of yourself!!

[Owlie]

High five! And in the cold too? I'm in awe. Most I've done in one ride is 46 (though it felt longer...)

Congratulations! I haven't done a metric since my accident in 2005. It's a great accomplishment!

Congratulations! The best I have done yet is 57 miles on my 57th birthday. Sometime this spring I hope to do a metric.

Bask in your accomplishment. It is always so great to achieve a goal.

yay you! I give my bike a red star decal for each metric century. That way I can brag when people ask about the stars on the frame.

Such a good feeling.Good for you and here's to many more.

Congratulations! That's a great milestone to reach. I remember my first metric. I was toast at the end. It sounds like you did really well. Here's to many more.

Oh, I love this idea! Now I need to buy me some stars.
