On the elevation profile it looks much worse than it was. Having a supportive spouse is the key, for me at least. I'm a lucky guy, and it sounds like you are too.

Yikes. I finally rode my first century this weekend and I didn't think I'd get hooked on long-distance rides, but now I'm wanting more. I am starting to understand the obsession ... and I'm not sure whether to embrace it, or run away screaming! I'm glad you touched on trying to balance it with work and family, that's a point a lot of long distance riders seem to overlook. I, too, am lucky to have a very patient, supportive wife. I like the idea of her driving, you riding. We did a mini-camping trip a couple of years ago that way and it was a lot of fun. Heh, yeah, flat except that nearly 1000-foot climb. Yikes.

I didn't realize that you wouldn't necessarily know that the map was there. Check the Stitching the River Ride for the same map.
