Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Completing a solo for your first century is quite an accomplishment even if you had something to stare at for the first 40 miles.

Great job!

Congrats!

Mmm.. Chocolate Milk.

I went on my first big ride today too. It was only 57 miles, but not bad for my 2nd week.

Stairs hurt, going down.

Muscles or knees? Hopefully the former.
