Morning Meanderings… What Does 173 Miles on a bike feel like?
Good morning everyone! Once again, I have not been around the blogesphere much due to a busy summer schedule. This past weekend I was for the 4th year in a row a part of the Camp Benedict Cyclists riding for a camp that is for people, children, and families with AIDS. This is one of my favorite rides of the year because everyone that does this ride is amazing.
This year the weather was perfect and myself, along with the two girls I ride much of the ride with Sheila and Belinda, decided we would do the Century route which is 100 miles in one day. I am so glad I did. This is something I have been wanting to do for the past two years and it was the plan for last years MS ride, the one I was hurt on.
I don’t want to post too many pics because I am pretty sure this will be my topic for the Saturday snapshots as well.. but here is a sample:
The whole gang – Camp Benedict Riders 2012

The shirt I wore day two of the ride
Over the two day ride I biked 173 miles and feel… yeah, a little like a rock star…LOL.
Thats it for now… I still have to get ready for work and yes, my reading is still suffering…. GAH! 
More pics on Saturday of this event.

Rock star indeed. Good Lord if I ever tried that. *cringe*
It sucked a little bit at the time…. not going to lie
I’m in awe of you, Sheila!
It was awesome Beth…one of the best days of the year!
I probably wouldn’t be able to walk today if I’d ridden that far this weekend.
I crawled up the steps to my cabin on Saturday Kathy… legs did not want to lift anymore.
Very impressive! I used to think biking for 40 miles or so was awesome…lol
I did too Laurel… for years I did 50′s and that that was incredible!
Woohoo! That sounds like such a terrific weekend. Great photos! Love the shirt LOL!

It was a blast Joy – the people make all the difference!
If I could give you a gold Olympic medal I would
Ahhhhh…. thanks Ruth
You should absolutely feel like a rock star for riding that far!
I did Alyce!
And I continously say my first Century ride… not, I did a century… nope, I hope there is more in my future 
That’s because you ARE a rock star! What an amazing accomplishment.
Sheila, you are an amazing woman! I am in awe (bowing to you)…
Congrats on the ride! That is awesome. I’ve done a metric century before many times but never a regular century — which is a great feat. 75 miles twice this summer seemed plenty. Cycle ride events are fun and heroic all at once — know what you mean. Enjoy your post-ride week high! http://www.thecuecard.com/
Good for you. It feels good to say you did a century.
