2013's ride is in the books

Post by Pmac »

I just wanted to thank everyone that took part in my fundraising auction this year one last time and to let you know that my total was just over $3200 and as a team we raised over $8100.

The ride was today and I did 104.5 miles in 6 hours and 7 minutes.

Thanks for your support guys!

Congrats bro.
It is on my list to do a century ride one of these days. I've done 65 which was on a rails to trail path and it kicked my arse!
Your accomplishment is amazing!  :clap:

Thanks guys.

Zepp this was my second century. My first was last Aug, I have another one in Aug and a 200k in Sept and I may get another century before Aug if I can. I really like to go long. I did 57 miles today in 3:19:20

The century in Aug is a yearly thing that I started last year called the Beer Belly Century. Our family has a guys only weekend at the cabin every year and I added the century last year to keep from being trashed for 3 solid day.  :cheers: a few of my riding friends come up and we do a century, no support just us riding and having a grand time.

Lol not a monster just seems that the longer I ride the more comfortable I get. The guys I ride with do call me the animal because I can ride tempo all day.

I would say that 80% of my riding is alone because I ride in the mornings and work from home. Weekends I have a few people that I do ride with.

At one point I was riding 30 miles/day. Felt great to get that in.
Damn road bike keeps having flats! i tried liners and all that jazz but still getting em. Hybrid does a lot better as far as tires go.
