    I did my first "come back" 50 miler today. I rode with a group. The ride was 44, which is the very distance I did a couple of weeks ago, and I thought, you know what? I want a full 50! So I done rode an extra 6 at the end of the ride.

    Feels so good to be doing long rides and doing them well. Thinking of doing the Tour de Palm Springs century in February. We'll see how my longer rides go as it gets closer. I don't want to be miserable just to say I finally did another century. There are more centuries to come.
