However, it occurs to me that everyone had a first time to reach a goal and felt a sense of accomplishment and wanted to share it.
And so it is with me.
Hey ... don't apologize for a great post! Yea, some of us have done a lot of centuries, double centuries, and even longer distance rides, but that doesn't mean we don't want to hear all about yours. The interesting part isn't the distance ... it's the challenges you overcame to get there (something we all deal with, regardless of the distance or speed we ride) and you described those beautifully.
BTW, I Googled your REI deal on the Diamondback. What a great deal!
