Way to go Azryder. I didn't realize the numbers were that small for the century and for women. I could have finished in around 6:45 except for helping my friend- but not less than 6 hours- ever!
Do you live in Tucson?

Thanks - I live in North Phoenix and did this ride with nine of my fellow club members. Seven men and two women. We all got separated and only two came in together. Four of us finished in under six hours and each hit our personal best time. This is a yearly event except I didn't ride 2013 in the pouring rain like you did. That makes you one tough woman!
You riding Tour de Palm Springs? If so I will see you there!

This was my first ever century (and first post here), but I finished in 6 hrs 21 mins riding solo. It was a blast, I loved all the roadside support!! I guess I pulled a group for a long ways, didn't even know it (duh!). I will certainly be back next year, it was a great experience. Perfect weather and conditions... I winter in AZ but am from Whidbey Island (in WA state). I did the north 50 of Tour de Whidbey last Sept, and will do entire century next time (2015)... it is really hilly, which helped prep me for century riding in AZ : )

Welcome Kelly, also.
Azryder, I am not planning on the Palm Springs ride but may do one or two 200k brevets, possibly the Casa Grande century this winter.2016 Specialized Ruby Comp disc - Ruby Expert ti 155

hi Rebecca,
Yes, the beginning of the Palm Springs ride is always windy - they didn't put those windmills there for looks! Once past that the ride is pretty nice with a few really great downhills. It is very well supported. I am riding with a few folks from my club and this year it looks like there will be just 5 or 6 of us. look for Team Trilogy cycling jerseys. Hope to see you there!

That sounds like a nice ride- we're saving our travel dollars for our trip to England and Ireland though
