Re: [RC] Best First Hundred? - Maureen A. Fager

"Am curious about the rides that 100 milers would consider the best first hundred? asked Patti."

Well, I've started and finished exactly one 100 miler, and it was the Virgina City 100 ride in 2002. Not exactly in your neck of the woods, but I liked it. That ride that day really spoiled me, great weather, blue sky no clouds, huge full moon wonderful horse and riding companions! When your riding along into the moonlight and squinting because it is so bright that's special. I'd ride the VC 100 again.

Pick your ride, prepare, prepare, prepare and go for it. If I ever get the chance to ride a 100 miler east of the Rockies it would be the Biltmore. It has always sounded special, and the photos I've seen of it look great too.

Finishing your first 100 is very special, it really doesn't matter where the finish line is.

Best of luck,
Maureen
Who hopes to be able to do a 100 milers again soon!
