If you get in over your head during a cycling event, they have cars that will shuttle you and your bike back to where your car is.
The mileages sound more impressive. (63 miles sounds far, but is way less difficult on a bike than 26.2 miles are on foot)
People talk about their bikes more than their training regiment.
Spandex.
And last, but not least, ICE CREAM!!!

One more thing: sore, poor bottom.
Actually, I got this really great saddle from a lovely company in the UK called Brooks. It is a formed leather saddle that overtime molds to fit the rider. My bottom was a little sore, but I haven't broken in my seat all the way. Next long ride should be really good.
You make me want to take up biking more and more every day. Good job on your ride. I want to hear more about it.
