This was Cheri's first full century since her foot surgery last fall. At the 73 mile feed stop our average was right at 20mph. While a less painful foot, a lot of training miles behind her and me (Mr. Windbreak) in front of her definitely contributed, I think all of the compliments she got on her pink clothing and bike bits is what really gave her the energy to not only keep up, but to finish strong!
