Today, I completed my first century! It was called ULCER (for Utah Lake Century Epic Ride). 108.44 miles in all. It took me just under 6 and a half hours. Between me and my friend, we had FIVE flats--all on the back tires! Luckily there were plenty of helpful guys around who could execute speedy tire changes.![]()
Somewhere between flat 4 and 5, this guy pulls up next to me and asks if I'm Yellow from BJ. I was dutifully wearing my new AV jersey, so I guess that's how he recogizes Yellow.I guess I was too amazed to ask who HE was.

Anyway, luckily he had come along because my friend and I had already burned through all of our tubes and CO2. BJ man happens to work for a LBS (Bingham), and was carrying a backpack full of tubes and a foot pump. So handy to have such a guy around when you need him, as we soon had yet another flat.
Yellow, did you make it down here for this ride today? I kept my eye out for you, but never did spot you.
If you can read this, take a pull.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Congrats on your first century (PLUS) today, AuntieK!
sorry, but I read the phrase, "BJ guy" and my mind goes straight to the gutter.
that is cool that yellow is such a rock star. but we knew that, right?

AK, see I KNEW you could do it. And it sounds like you got lots of practice changing flats.How many of them were rear wheel?
I suspect the guy was jentron. I think he works at the Binghams up north (to me, anything north of north Salt Lake is "up north"; I can't keep all those towns straight). Kris (a guy) from Orem is from the utahmountainbiking.com board, so I doubt it was him. I can't think of anyone else that might know me. Unless it was xray, my apparent rival on BJ.
No, I didn't make it. Hubby got home from Oregon late and we slept in, jacuzzi-ed, ate breakfast, and walked downtown. I rode later with a gentleman that rides City Creek multiple times in one day.He's doing Desperado next week so I was grilling him for information.
