Alright, I did it! 108.8 miles in 5 hours 39 minutes. Avg. speed= 19.26. Didn't get any pics :(

Strange thing is that I'm really not that tired.

Wow and congrats
did you have a good time?
that's a great average/time
maybe you haven't come down yet (the not being tired yet), if it were me, I'd be sky'n too.

Thanks guys! I was really only trying to get an average of about 15-16mph, but it's amazing what happens when you're in a group and there's a pace to keep.
