My First Ride
The Marin Half Metric Century route begins on flat to rolling terrain before you are greeted with your first challenge of the day, a 1.5 mile and 430 foot climb to the Big Rock summit of
Needless to say after reading this, I didn't know if I could make it up the 1.5 mile climb. When we finally reached the climb, I had to stop three times to take a breather. Thank goodness my friend Megan was there with me as my motivator. Without her, I think I might have just turned around and went home. During my last stop up the climb, I really thought I was going to hurl. But after resting for about a minute, I was able to continue on.
Overall, it was definitely an interesting experience. There are over 200 riders there, all in very good shape. Kind of inspiring. We were there with 4 friends, some of which who were pretty hard core riders and now my husband is inspired to head out for more riding. I think I'll join him only on the easier rides. :)
