 By the way, when I won the 50, one of the locals told me I should come back
 and ride the 'other 2/3' meaning the 100.  It took a little wind out of my

Laura,
I'm sure this comment sounded a little "snobby".....however, if they ever 
have a 50 at the Tevis, I'm sure you'll hear the same comments.  I did the OD 
when the infamous comment was made addressing the 50 mile riders as, "Those 
of you riding 1/2 a ride."  Well, taken from a person who has ridden the 100, 
I have to agree. You have not done the Old Dominion unless you have done the 
100.  The 50 is good training for the OD, but there really is no comparison.

minutes!!!)
