How I did it
It made me
Accomplished. 
How I did it: I worked my way up to it. I started by doing 20km rides in March then up through 30, 40 and 50km rides in April. 60 and 70 in early may and then jumped to 100 this past weekend. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy
How I did it: I was lucky. My wife, my close family and a lot of my friends teamed up and got me a gift card for the Apple store. That covered about a third of it. The rest was saving. Read how I did it…

Did it, sort of.

On the weekend I rode down into the City to have my bike looked at. It ended up being just over 25km. I was planning to take transit back home but I felt good so I rode home, making for 51.9km.
The only catch is that I had a two and a half hour break in between.
My real goal is to do a continuous 50k with only a short rest period, or none at all.
So I am going to leave this as thing as undone for now.
