First 50 Miler
Just completed my first 50 mile ride. No real issues could have had a bit more food/water. I just wanted to tell someone other than my wife and daughter. Golf buddies would not understand. Cheers

Congratulations! It's a cool milestone. Personally, I found every 50-miler comes with a great sense of accomplishment. It's no mean feat.

Did my first 50 miler in the fall "Solvang Prelude" (I don't think they run that any more). It's a great feeling. Your golf buddies might not get it, but I find if you tell some one you ride 50 miles their eyes get big and assume you must be super-human, so don't sell it short.

Mine was last September. Definitely a milestone for me. Would love to do it again. Not sure I can.
