100 miles



My first Century Ride! Pictured above left to right: Brian, me, and Lance. I had a lot of fun even though I got in my second wreck in two weeks after a kid hit a rock and lost control of his bike falling into me. This was only 30 miles in and I was okay so I finished. We started about 7:30 in the morning and I finished about 3:00. We rode 109 miles and I averaged about 17 to 20 miles an hour. They did have a couple of rest stops and they served a great lunch! I have really great co-workers that love to bike and it has been so fun to go on rides with them and learn some bike etiquette and acquire some neat road rash scares :D)

How fun! I haven't been on a bike forever, but all of my older boys can ride now and they are having a blast! I am a much bigger chicken than you, but I think it would be fun to go for a little ride. Not necessarily in this condition though! I'm glad you were able to get back on your bike after your second wreck! OUCH!

Talk about wonder woman. I can probably do 109 feet on my bike. Looks like fun!

You are awesome!!! I took my first spin class and almost died. The whole time I kept thinking that you were going to do a century ride that coming weekend and I couldn't even go an hour.

Very impressive! I have a hard time biking a mile, let alone 100.

Tina said...

I'm impressed! That would be a blast to do a ride like that. Except for the wrecking part...that would stink.

Okay, so I have to tell you again how AWESOME I think you are! What an example. We'll have to go once my ankle heals. But please don't pull a Welby on me! ;o)
