need to brag

Well, I get to cross of another one of my life goals.  I rode my first bike century (100 miles) yesterday.  It took me 7 1/2 hours with about 6 1/2 actually riding and the rest for various breaks and fixing a flat.  There was a point when I didn't think I could do that -- man 10 months and 200 pounds later and I'm off doing lots of crazy things!  --Sax

Good for you! You still smell like used reeds and bassoon bocals. kp

What an awesome goal to have accomplished. You weren't part of the lower Michigan ride that stopped through Sturgis were you? I rode 30 of the miles(the section WEst of town with all the hills- not the best idea) for cancer awareness- my husband didn't think I could make it and, I opened my mouth and said, yes I can, and a bet resulted. Needless to say, The American Cancer Society will be the beneficiary of my husband's non- believe. I was slightly sore for tennis today,. but, I still made glad I did it.. Way to go Sax.. You have some pretty high ranking goals is this is only 10 months out. Great results and isn't it great to be able to do these things? God Bless. AmyH (wigglypoo)

Wonderful!!.. that's sure a lot more than I could do.. does the PALM ride interest you at all?.. should be a year from now.. they just went thru here on their bikes yesterday.. there was all ages in this ride..  anyway.. great job!!

Awesome!

My aunt and uncle do the palm every year.  I've always had work commitments during this week preventing me from doing it.  I may ride it next year, I hear it's a nice ride.  Daily rides are about 30-50 miles with options for longer rides -- a casual cyclist can enjoy it. --Sax 

I seen a gentleman who was probably in his 70's riding with them yesterday.. it was amazing.. here's their schedule this year http://www.lmb.org/palm/

Dude,  that is, like, amazing.  I couldn't do that if you paid me a million dollars!  You should be so proud of yourself!!

Congratulations!!!!   I am doing the Wish a Mile in July 300 miles in 3 days.   You had really good time.   I hope I can be as successful in my goal of this ride.  Carol

How AMAZING!!!!!!  WTG!!!!!  You Rock!!!!!  I hope to be able to do that someday too, but those bikes still hurt my behind too much even after all the weight loss.....  I truly admire you!!!!!
