Picture from Today's Ride

So I just completed my first metric century. I know it isn't a big deal for most of you, as I think some of you do 62 miles before breakfast. But I'm pretty proud of myself.

Anyway, it was over some nice roads and I enjoyed it. First day in a long time we haven't had rain. Here's a couple pics from the ride. The strava ride is here: http://app.strava.com/rides/11969729

Good for you! You have busted a psychological barrier and I hope you will realize that you can bust many more. You will be able to do an imperial century (160km). Just let yourself do it.

Love to see all the greenery. Getting brown here in the San Diego country sides except by the beach where its all reddish, brunette, and blonde. The fact that you've done the metric means the next metric and longer will be much easier. Sometimes it's just the confidence that holds us back.
