First metric (whew!)
Just finished my first metric century about 15 minutes ago. A solo ride with 20mph headwinds! Geesh!
Until now, my personal best was 50 miles on my hybrid. Today I did 66.5 miles on my new OCR2--Wow, what a difference!
Enough braggin'....time to start nappin'.....

Your old personal best is my new one as of today.
Any part of you barking by the end of the ride today?

Today, I feel pretty good. I think I'm going to set my sights on a full century about 4-5 weeks from now.
Wish me luck!

Sleep, sleeper ! Next day you may be an eater, followed by a bit of sleep then you're ready to ride again. I did my first century last summer, Hotter-N-Hell in Wichita Falls, TX and it was great. Did a fairly hilly 52 miles yesterday preceded by 18 beers (3 of us) the night before - not a good pre-ride regimen...oops! Good luck on your century ; you'll do great.

Congrat's Dewbert on a ride well done. Now rest up, and have a great Memorial Day weekend.
