Spring City, UT
June 21, 2008
Well, I have yet another century under my seat. :) Yesterday, my friend, Becca, and I headed south for the Bike for the Cure Century. We left Orem bright and early at 5:30 am and arrived in Spring City shortly after 7 am. We signed in, got the bikes ready to go and rolled out just before 8 am. The weather was clear and sunny, and got pretty hot as the day went on. After 3 pretty good climbs, followed by fun descents on the way back, we hit the lunch stop around 1:30 pm. With 60 miles already done, we were glad that there were only 40 left to go.
As we approached the last few miles before the last rest stop, we were running out of steam. The rest stop was a welcomed sight, along with their cold water, fresh fruit, and granola bars. I even put my head under the water spigot to cool off. It felt great! The last 20 miles were a challenge -- but we did it!!! We enjoyed a nice little dinner at a local diner and headed home.

Congrats! It's nice to do something challenging, but also to enjoy doing it at the same time.
Hi Ashley,
I'm glad to see that you are still riding. "Psychochick" might be a better name!!
