It's been a couple days since I finished my ride. Yesterday was tough, I'm not going to lie. I didn't know if I was going to make it through. :) Ok, that may be an exaggeration. Looking back though, I would say that it was a great experience for me. Even with the cruddy weather I would do it again. It challenged me like I've never been before. That's exactly what I was looking for. I've come a long way since I began cycling and I wanted to see if my hard work paid off. They say you're not a serious cyclist until you've done a century (100 miles). Well, I guess nobody can say I'm not a serious cyclist, and I did mine with 100 lbs of gear. I would like to do another without all of the gear and see how fast I could finish. That would definitely be easier. Maybe next year.
Thanks for following my blog and for cheering me on along the way. It was fun and I appreciate it!

Done!
113 miles is the total for the day. That was by far the most difficult thing I've ever done. Physically and mentally. Thanks for all the well wishes. I'll post a final post tomorrow and look back on my first bike tour.

Coming close
I'm 90 miles in. That's 35 miles further than I've ever gone. My toes are killing me. Not sure why. I'm hurtin' but its a done deal now.

Horseshoe Lake chain
I'm just passing by the beautiful Horseshoe Lake chain. Lots of great memories were made here as a child. Love you Helen and Milton!

50 miles so far
Almost halfway home. I'm feeling good but my back is getting sore. Time to pop some ibuprofen and eat a sub. I need to keep moving to make it home in time.
