Default This course is scaring me



With just 115 miles under my belt, this rally is next week.

It may not look brutal, but trust me, it is. Esp. for someone with no fitness.

Oh, it's a ton of fun, it's just that I've always done it with a lot more fitness.

One year I started late, about 10 min after the group start.

So I would chase a group, draft, leave and chase the next group, etc. It was a blast.

But not very efficient, mind you. This is actually the best ride I've ever done.

so it's about a 3.5 hour ride or less? It looks like a great way to gain some fitness. Bless you for it.

This is not a ride I can avg. 20mph.

I would be happy with 18mph.
