    What an achievement, congrats to you! I'm 57, been riding a bit longer, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it. But, mind over matter is correct. And perservereance. You've got both, and achieved a remarkable goal. Good for you!

    Thumbs up

    LunaB, very inspiring story. For you to have accomplished that after riding for such a short time...incredible. We never know what we can accomplish until we DO. I learned that last summer in my first double century ride (at 54!).

    You will remember that happiness for the rest of your life!

    What a fantastic achievement. You put truth in the saying that we can achieve anything in life when we set up our minds to do so. Thanks for the reminder!!
