   Hi, Everyone! I'm happy to report that Mr. WWM and I successfully completed the Chili Pepper Challenge yesterday. AND - I didn't fall off of my bike!!!!! YAY!!! The big surprise was that the 50 mile ride we thought we were doing was actually 57.5 miles. ACK!!!!!! I really began to wonder at 53 miles where the finish was!

   The weather was perfect and we rode through some beautiful scenery. We met lots of great people and just had a really good time. I had the camera in my jersey pocket but totally forgot to take pictures. :-( A friend took this one of us at the starting line. Good thing it wasn't at the end because we strongly resembled road kill.

   Congrats, you're back and you didn't fall off your bike. That's always a bonus WWM. Ohhhhh, bright cycling clothes, need my sun glasses to look at the picture, at least the traffic will be able to see you both. Little did you know when that was taken what was ahead of you, an extra 7.5miles! Well done both of you.

    SM, the feeling is... as they would say in the movie "Young Frankensteing".... Moootuallll!

    The gym tomorrow. No rest because there's always the next big ride to think about. For me, it's the MS 150 next July. I will need to be able to ride 75 miles in one day, and then repeat it the next day with another 75 miles. Only, the second day is mostly uphill. But now I have the confidence to think that I maybe can pull it off!

    Congrats! Take a little bit of a well-deserved break. I can imagine your butt hurts - that would be the tough part, getting back on the bike again the 2nd day. Ouch. Well done, both of you!

    July. In Texas. 150 miles. Yup. Certifiable.

    My theory is that if you want to do something, you CAN do it! Yeah, my butt is a little bit sore but all in all, I woke up this morning not feeling too bad. I WILL do the MS 150 next year! I may be tired, but how lucky am I that I can go out and do something like that when there are so many who would love to, but can't. I just keep thinking of them and they are my inspiration.

    MC, my martini jersey is for my everyday rides. But my Academy jersey is for "special". No one had cooler jerseys than me and Mr.WWM!!!! But when we went to get our packets the night before the ride, we found gifts in ours. Some friends had given us each an El Paso Bicycle Club jersey and they were in our packets. They are bright yellow with chili peppers on them. And since El Paso is my hometown, that is pretty cool!

    You and Mr. WWM inspire me to get off my big butt and get some exercise in. I went snorkeling in Jamaica and it felt so good to get a good workout, I wonder why I don't make it a habit? And the picture is fabulous! You rock!

    CW, you hardly have a big butt!!! Isn't snorkeling fun? And the waters in Jamaica are so clear and beautiful. I hope you saw lots of gorgeous fish and none of the scary kind!

    *blush* Thanks!

    But why did I get on the scale this morning and discover that I had actually gained weight?????? Well, it could have been the Mexican food that I scarfed down Sunday night, I guess......
