longest bicycle ride so far

Just wanted to share my first century (100 mile) bicycle ride. I sure feel
good that I finally did the century ride. It was a very cool nice morning
today in the Pittsburgh area. I started at 7:00am and the fog didn't lift
until about 9:00 or so. The ride was quite hilly and I must say my legs are
quite tired, but I feel great. It was nice to finish and still have more in
my tank at the end. I may push a bit harder now that I did the 100 once.
It took me 7 hours with two snack breaks and a lunch break. I felt that was
pretty good considering I was being pretty conservative and the hills.

Had to share it with someone. My journey all started with low carb and no
exercise, and when I got thinner I added some light jogging and so on. My
first goal was to jog a mile and so on. Now I am riding 100 miles on my
bike. What is next? Iron man? Maybe in the future!

Enjoy,
Curt

Good show!

WowowowowoW! Thanks for sharing, 100 miles a day is very inspiring. Now I
might just lug my rusty bike to get it fixed by the bike guy down the road...

oh well, may be later, after my holiday that's starting tomorrow. :-)

Congratulations, Curt! I'm up to 67 miles on my bike ride, and I hope to
do the most I've ever ridden this weekend. Then, I plan on completing my
first ever century in September. I did 67 miles in five hours, so I'm
hoping to complete the century in about 7 hours.
