Happy B-day Jill. 28. I remember 28 like it was yesterday. Well, 20 years of yesterday's! I am surprised that you're back on the bike so soon. Seems like you would have had enough of that for awhile!
Happy Birthday Jill! Enjoy it! I have 8 years on you. Although I started racing when I was 18, I didn't do my first 24 solo race until I was 26. Now 10 years later, I think I have plenty of ultra racing left in me.
Happy Birthday Jill. Looking back at 28 seems like a lifetime ago (16 years). I was just starting out...but didn't know it at the time. My wife's birthday is also today, she's starting her 40th year on this planet.
Happy Birthday Jill! Been reading your blog for sometime now but have never left a comment. I'm jealous of the beautiful pictures you take on your rides and what you always get to see. Enjoy your birthday! From a few miles Southeast :-)
Hi Jill, Happy Birthday!! Hope it was a great one. It sounds like you had a wonderful trip. You are so brave. I admire you for your determination and bravery. I love reading things you write.
Thanks so much for sharing your world with us. It's been great fun reading your adventures and we look forward to reading many more. Happy Birthday : )
Since my bank account has dried up with the purchase of this new computer, all I can give you at this time is four birthday Haiku's. Enjoy them as you would a can of cold diet pepsi at the end of a 140 mile ride.
Best regards, Dave

Happy Birthday, Jill! Your blog is great, and I wish you all the very best in the coming years. Having been 28 twice now, I can let you know that the best is yet to come! Best wishes, Bilbo.
You've got a cracking blog here - it always make me want to go out and ride. That can only be a positive contribution to the cycling community!
I too am in my late 20's and feel like things are just getting going; particularly in terms of my bike riding.
I'll be taking part in my first 24hr enduro this January and have found a certain amount of inspiration for entering in the first place here. So thank you!
