I was writing to Tina that I just joined my local bicycling club, and next month they are hosting a 24-ride/picnic. There is a park that is situated in a the middle of a figure-8 route that is 25 miles in length. So, every time you complete the loop, you log 25 miles, and are back at home base. I'm thinking of trying to do my first 100 there. I can stop, rest, get a drink, etc. every 25 miles, and space it out a bit. I would love to be able to get to 100 this year! My only real challenge is that I tend to get pain in my hips and back way before my energy is gone. I've been concentrating on strengthening the muscles in my "girdle" and being careful to stretch well before and after each ride.
