Hey everyone!
So, I did a century on Saturday (100 mile bike ride) for MS without a single day of training...last time I was on my bike was pretty much September last year. Wow!...Not recommended without training! I don't know what gave me the inclination that I should do it. However, I am glad I did it now that it's over. I can put that on my list of things I did in life (and I have a patch to prove it!). That said...I will probably never do a century again.
Actually riding isn't what makes me not want to do it again...but the aftermath. I am sunburned (SPF 4 didn't quite cut it!), my butt hurts, my hands are numb (this is what I don't like the most), I am dehydrated and generally sorer and weaker than when I started.
Enough whining...it was actually a really beautiful ride. I wish I could have taken some pictures. I have never seen such vivid green plants before. There were so many different types of birds that I could see and hear.
I also saw many different kinds of roadkill...some recognizable...some not.
I had a great time but I am glad it's over.
I will post some pictures from the ride when they are posted by the photographers.
Thanks again everyone for allowing me to have this great experience!

You did it, great job!
Thanks. I did do it! Sheesh!
Wow I am impressed. I watch those people biking and I think how hard that has to be. Good Job!
See, I look at those people biking and think, "How hard can that be?" But then Emily told me she rode her bike about half a block before almost collapsing...and I can't do much on my stationary bike, so I have taken that thought back. Way to go!
