While it might be too good to be an original, what I find really interesting is how some of there areas represent their local and "authentic" culture through the memes of the Japanese era. I will blog more on that one later with a sweet little ride.NONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312011183953017842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-24617358353397146232010-03-09T06:03:19.380-08:002010-03-09T06:03:19.380-08:00Great post and nice photos.

As long as you keep eating and drinking. <br /><br />FUN!!! That's the name of the game. If you aren't having any fun then you're doing it wrong and there's no point. Don't feel bad about walking at all. Everyone has been there. It takes time and practice to build up, so no worries. I look back at some hills that gave me trouble two years ago and I can't believe it. <br /><br />I have one shameful hill in particular that reminds me of this each time I see it. One of these days I'll show you.NONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312011183953017842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-37545755110038495812010-03-08T06:00:58.806-08:002010-03-08T06:00:58.806-08:00I won't complain about 50-55 miles.

A century of completely flat terrain I guess wouldn't be all that difficult. <br /><br />I definitely feels great to have conquered that ride, even if I had to walk a bit in places. Fun too.Elihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03648566751513055517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-81674572313925229532010-03-08T03:30:25.185-08:002010-03-08T03:30:25.185-08:00@ Eli

Not to take anything off the accomplishment.... Up hill miles are far harder to string together than flat miles. :D<br /><br />You did really great. I was so impressed with your poise in handling such a tough challenge.NONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312011183953017842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6203074149634807485.post-40112184252302177632010-03-08T02:36:33.393-08:002010-03-08T02:36:33.393-08:00Great post!
