Tomorrow's the big day: my first century ride. 105 miles through the hills (mountains?) around Cartersville, GA. I'm approaching the ride with anticipation and trepidation. Certainly I know I can do it -- they say if you've ridden 65 or 70 miles you can do a century, no problem. But lately I've been dreading the long rides. Not because they're long, but 5 or 6 hours on a bike just gets boring when you're riding alone. Of course that makes me nervous about the 80 mile per day average we're going to do on the big trip, but surely there will be enough people to talk to . . . won't there?

OF COURSE YOU CAN DO IT!! I've never doubted you a single minute. All this is just a reflection of how you've directed and lived your life up until now. Your determination and desire have always been stronger than any anxious questioning of your self. Those of us who know you are sure of your success in this leg of the journey and in the successful completion 8 months from now to honor your friend, Elyse. You GO GIRL!! - Love you, Mom
Wishing you a great ride...I'm not up to speed with you yet but soon... I will get a century in with you and be able to offer some company. You motivate me and many others.
Peace and love
