Too funny, M!
My first was June 2003, "America's Most Beautiful Bike Ride," around Lake Tahoe. And it *was* stunningly gorgeous, but boy, those climbs nearly did me in . . . I was living and riding in a pretty flat part of the country then. But I enjoyed it (*after* it was over!) and even went dancing (!!) for several hours that night.
I've continued to do centuries, and MS150 rides, and I'm hoping next year to dip my toe into the baby end of the brevet pool. At least I have hills where I live now . . . lots and lots of steep, STEEP hills!
