Doing 1st century tomorrow ... praying for the "hoo ha"!
To disable ads, please log-in.
So, I'm doing my first century tomorrow. Amtrak century from Irvine, CA to San Diego. I'm doing it with Dh on the tandem. He's done several on his own, but this will be my first ever and his first on a tandem. I'm feeling pretty decent about it. We've trained. Just praying my hoo ha holds up! I have been known to get numbness in my feet and up the back of my leg, but that seems to be better since Dh adjusted my seat two rides ago. Longest we went was 67 miles in horrid heat. However, the weather looks to be very nice tomorrow. 65-ish at the start.
Wish me luck! I'll let you know how it goes.

"Praying for the Hoo-Ha"....sounds like a good name for a book, a fiddle tune, or a painting or something.....

Jiffer, you'll do great. Doing a century on a tandem is a ton of fun, and you're clearly ready. Let us know how it goes.

Yup, if you have already done 67 miles on the tandem, you are ready to do 100.

My Hoo-Haa had red welts on either side after yesterdays-almost-a-century (150km) and well... it will get better
as for Hoh-Haa goddesses; how about the
Callipygian Venus, meaning “of the beautiful buttocks.”
It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
