Husband looked all spiffy in his new Illinois jersey -an early father's day prezzy from yours truly :-)
Did better this year and didn't need to stop going up that stinking hill. Lived up to my Slow & Steady moniker. Wasn't moving fast, but I kept on moving. Average pace for the whole ride was 14 mph. Top speed was 29.2 - brave for me not to grab the brakes at 25mph coming down the other side!
At the rest area, I noticed that there were lots of men, but not many women. Took a photo because it seemed so odd.
Right now I'm exhausted. And hungry. And stinky. And sweaty. Food, Shower, Nap required. in that order.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend folks!
Where were all the women?
ReplyDeleteNice going! It feels good to have days like that. :)
Well done. 14mph is pretty fast for this sort of distance. Seriously! Especially with some climbing thrown in. You might have to change the name of your blog after all? :-)
ReplyDeleteYou did it! Way to represent the girls. :o)
ReplyDeleteYay! You didn't have to stop going up the hill! Thanks for sharing the pictures. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your ride!

Oh, that's HAWT, and you're not lookin too bad yourself Lisa :-)
ReplyDeleteYou rock! Way to give us girls a good name.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you bikers get all the cool clothes? It's enough to make me want to take up the sport. All those bright colors and designs... Pretty!
Woo-hoo!! Great job on the ride! I agree with RunningLaur's comment... why do bike riders get the fun clothes?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like we'd be good riding partners! 14 mph is perfect & yes I'm also tempting to touch the brakes on downhills. Scary fast!
ReplyDeleteWELL DONE!!
ReplyDeleteThe top photo is too funny.. People who bike amaze me, I can't do it...well I chose not to.
ReplyDeleteSorry to leave you hanging, I posted a Blog today. I chose to do a 22 miler because I did not have time for the other options. It ended up to be an amazing run..
i KNEW you could do it, Lisa. CONGRATS on completing your half century!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Congrats!
ReplyDeletenice job on the ride.
ReplyDeletegood job. i agree with s-country, way to go out there and represent the girls! you rock.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, and congrats, I'm so glad you decided to do the event, and now you're an inspiration to all the women who might be too intimidated thinking it's only men, and know that women can do it too!! Well done!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done Lisa :o)
ReplyDeleteDon't you love those post-event feelings... "exhausted.. hungry... stinky.. sweaty..." makes it all worth it :o)
CONGRATULATIONS to both of you!
ReplyDeleteawesome job on your ride!!!!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would rock it!! I just knew it! Way to rock that hill!
ReplyDeleteI have found that the tough centuries seem to be many more men than women, so it just goes to show how bad ass you are! Way to represent for us girls!
(Ok, WAY too many exclamation points. I will try to calm it down. Sorry)
Oh heck yeah! No doubt in my mind that you could do it!
ReplyDelete14mph!!!! THAT ROCKS!!!! Seriously I bow down to you. WAY TO GO Lisa!!!
