Rick, I appreciate the kind words ... but my first DOUBLE ???!!!?

Doesn't that require one to first complete a century???

You guys & gals doing centuries, double metrics, 150s, and double centuries amaze me. That's just not my game.

My longest distance "maybe" goal for 2009 is do to a 54 mile age ride. And I'm not that focused on hitting it, although I think it would be nice to pull it off. And I do have a 200 mile target in mind, to do that many while on a 5-day biking vacation.
