On Saturday, I rode 104 miles with five friends. None of them have ever ridden further than 75 miles (well, I think one of them had done 77 once before). I think they have reason to boast of their mileage. In addition, these five women are very into photos, so we know what they saw.
Know what I saw? Five strong people who set a goal to ride 100 miles, got on their bikes despite the fact that thunderstorms were forecasted for the day, and rode every mile, giving each other encouragement each time they felt sore or fatigued. They were tired at the end and declared that they'd never do it again, but they did it! And I bet they will do it again.

| Done! And fortified with root beer/orange floats! |
I have refrained from sharing a photo of my bee/wasp sting welt. Some little jerk stung my thigh at mile 100.
