[RC] re:100s & Merryben's thoughts - Jonni

tough or traditional 100s are easier than "easy" ones.  Most easy 100s have

traditional 100s are NEVER boring.  You are so focused on the terrain, the
beauty, the new challenges, etc. that the time flies by. <<<

OK, I have a one ride study...Tevis, but I really have NO desire to do the
100's that loop into camp time and time again. I loved the feeling on Tevis
that I was riding TO some place, not just a finish line. I was following a
historical route. When I crossed the top of the mountain, I looked West, and
knew my goal was out there somewhere. I did remain very focused on the trail
and my surroundings, and when I finally crossed that finish line some 23 1/2
hours later, it really did not feel like I have been riding all day..and
night. LOL  I was never, ever bored.
