Well today I did it!!! 104 miles!! I'm so proud I just had to share!

So now I have the bragging rights but I don't think I will ever attempt it again. The last 20 miles were not what could be considered fun by any definition, and the last 10 were absolute torture.

But I made it!!
You *HAVE* to do it again. Honest, they get easier.

I got a kick out of the Strava segment "da hill".
