Well I attempted to ride my first half century. I was riding my usual pal, my mountain bike. I failed. In the first 13 miles I went down 3 times, my shoe cleats were a total nightmare. In the 3 falls I pulled a muscle in my left hip. I rode an additional 25 miles before the twisted shoe cleat, pain and heat exhaustion finally claimed me. I was 14 miles short. My son finished the event, but medically they would not let me continue, not that I would have gotten far anyway. At lease I was able to ride across the finish line and get my cancer survivor gift. I am feeling real low today.
Anaconda, I ride a mountain bike exclusively, and I understand that it is a beast of a bike....really. The fact that you rode it 38 miles in the heat, with falls and muscle pulls, means that you have guts to get out there. I hope you're feeling better today. :flowerforyou:0 -

Well its Monday and I am sure feeling it now. I am pretty sore, but will live. Plan on a leg stretcher short ride later today. Thanks for the encouragement, I really needed it.0 -
Not reporting mileage yet, just want to send out some thanks to all the people that posted encouraging messages. Believe me as I sit here sore as anything, it sure made me realize I did accomplish something amazing on Saturday in the Tour Des Chutes. I made 36 miles at a starting elevation of 3200 feet, 100 degrees out, had mechanical problems, fell a few times and I survived all on my mountain bike. I was transported to the finish line, but I made them stop, unload my bike and I rode, barely the last quarter mile and crossed the finish line. Not bad for a 57 year old gal. Thank you Sunflower9194, Kar328, Sufferlandria, Clepant, Meg2166, Taxmom9093, Verdemujer, Phytogurl and Ceci_O_K. I survived cancer 2x, I should be able to go back next year and conquer this ultimate challenge.0

It's time to enter some riding date. After the beating I took in the bike tour Saturday, I took a short limbering up bike ride today. I found that more things hurt today now that the adrenalin rush is wore off. Oh well, will keep it short and sweet this week. Ended the calendar week on a bruised and battered note. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
