Saturday Ride

Ok, so my first initial step in seeing if I am prepared for the century is complete. I did a 50 mile bike ride, almost to Veyo and back. It took me 3 hrs 40 minutes, and burned about 3000 calories. If I can keep that pace the entire century I would finish around 7 hrs....not good, but not horrible either. It was pretty slow, but I think if I keep doing it for the next few weeks I will be able to finish the century.....maybe.....I guess we'll see.

You are my hero! That is awesome that you are doing this bike ride, looks like you are well on your way to the 100 mile finish line!

7 hours is not SLOW!!! and you will actually do better then you think.... with people being there to draft with and what not.

Yowza! 50 miles. That's freakin' awesome. I think I'd be intimidated by a 100 mile bike ride too, but it sounds like you have a good plan. Good plans make stuff doable.

Good job Becca! You are awesome.

I somehow missed a few people on the evite for the hike tonight for LAC. Please tell me you are coming anyway!
