It was not that long ago that we got a cycling club started here in the Flower Mound area and that I was invited to participate. Eager as I was, I got my old mountain bike out and came out to ride. Imagine my surprise when I saw people on their triathlon bikes (these guys spend > $5,000 on a bike!) and me on this old and heavy bike.
Needless to say I have come a loooong way since that ride in mid May when I was barely able to complete a 14 mile loop. I finished the Hotter 'N Hell Hundred Endurance Ride in Wichita Falls, TX in six hours and 20 minutes of actual butt-time - with stops and a flat repair it stretched out to eight hours.
The elation of crossing that finish line is one I will not soon forget.
Wow! My first century ride is complete.
