WAY TO GO!!! I am tickled pink for you too!sounds like you fueled and rode it very well... 9 hours is great for your first century... especially with a headwind!
descending gets easier and more comfortable the more you do it... like everything else!
and JoAnn... I'm excited for you too... be sure to tell us how it goes OK?

There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

Thank you so much for posting! Congrats! I really appreciate all the enthusiasm and energy and encouragement from the group. There is a century in my town next weekend, and although my training isn't where I would like it to be this year, I am thinking about doing the ride anyhow. I have done a century, but not since last year, and it was a very flat one. This one has a lot more climbing, so I'm nervous. But, reading all these posts, I remember what a triumph it is to try hard things and see how it goes, and maybe even succeed!
Good going, everyone. We are all stronger than we know."The best rides are the ones where you bite off much more than you can chew, and live through it." ~ Doug Bradbury

Excellent work! I don't remember--what kind of bike do you have? Any pix?
