I was so shocked that I have not been sore, tired or pained since the ride. I do have to confess, though, that my hubby and I went for massages Saturday afternoon!!

Your causes are wonderful too. It is so great when people can get behind something they believe in and can give it their all. I just wish I could do more---for MS and all other diseases that people suffer from.

Wooooohoooooo!

Way to go! Excellent cause, of course, but excellent effort too! My son wants to start jogging to get fit, and I'm thinking I should dig the bike out and go with him. But I'm really not sure my butt could cope! LOL

Hey, Blue, K3n, made a 'tush cush', for her mom, and then someone else made some after seeing hers.
Just an idea, to help prevent, 'saddle sores' :wink:

Marcia, I bet your daughter is so touched, that the whole family would do this!
I have a good friend with ms, and they really do need to get on with that research. You guys looked great about to cross that finish line. What a long ride...good for you! :D

Way to go Marcia! Thats a lot of riding!!!! They do make those seats mighty small...there are a lot more hills out there now than there used to be too...I noticed that when I pulled the old bike out to ride this past spring. Tell all in your family...great job!
