Thanks everyone, appreciate the positive comments.

The last 20 miles was pretty brutal, heading mostly into a pretty good headwind. We were both dying trying to finish, where it seemed like the ride would nnnnneverrrrr end.

Honestly though, that was a lot of work. Not sure really if it's worth riding that far in one day. Except for maybe a little bragging, and a sense of accomplishment, what's the point?

Now, I'm curious what motivates people to ride that far in one day. What do YOU get out of it?

Guess I'm searching for more motivation to try another century. Or is one enough? Also, what's the next major milestone in the life of a cyclist?

Thank again for the replies!
