My first 100-mile bike ride since 1999

I've been in pretty intense training the last 3 months, riding the bike a total of 1500 miles. In the process, I dropped 35lbs and Sunday, Oct. 3rd, I finally accomplished a long sought-after goal of doing another 100-mile bike ride - the 2010 Tour De Poway Century. The last one I did was in 1999, and illness derailed numerous attempts to do it again - but not this time...

This music video was made from video captured during the ride.

It was 102 miles, 5500ft of climbing, 6hrs 44min at an avg heart rate of 138bpm. Serious cardio! (especially when you're 55yrs old and weigh 234lbs!)
