Riding the Carolina Century

I have had the extraordinary good fortune of riding sections of the Carolina Century. Thanks to more friends than I can name, I broke personal records on both occassions.  The first time, not only did I complete 37 miles, but I conquered (slowly) Trashmore Hill.  The second go round - I made half a century with 51 miles. On this second ride, I saw the mountains of VA and did not stop on a single hill til the end. This for me is a great accomplishment.

Slow and Steady

My username is a misnomer.  Rabbit, hah, more like a turtle.  But whether anyone believes it or not, I have come a long way in the past 4 months.  And more importantly - I am having fun doing it and making lots of wonderful new friends.  I was so excited today to discover that I actually have a class designation among cyclists. I kept searching for the ranks and how to determine A versus B versus C.  And were there any other classes?
