    and the fans go WILDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!! Congrats Kimmy - isn't riding a century just about the coolest thing in the whole world? I loved some of your tips coz I've seen pretty much all of them on the very few organized rides I'm able to go on - cept the "knocking over the bikes". It my case it's usually just My bike that falls - and it always seems to fall on the cassette side! (tyvm lol) As for the food stops et al: I just always carry my own food anyway so I just don't count on them - for pretty much anything! LOL

    Welcome to the Century Club my friend! May you ride many more in the years to come!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    Congrats on completing your first century Kimmy! Sounds like it was a pretty good experience and you learned many valuable lessons. I'm going to remember them for my century in Sept. (like Lise).
    Great job!

    Congratulations Kimmy...I love your report! I have my first century coming up in about 4 weeks and I'll try not to be that girl.
