Yes. I mean the kind of dam that holds water. Arkansas is about to open the world's largest pedestrian and cyle- oops I mean cycle and pedestrian bridge.

Does anyone else plan to ride? My BBB( Beloved Big Brother) has already bought tickets for me and him to ride. They offer a 12, 20, 50 and 100 mile course. He's fully capable of doing the century. I'm such a beginner - I have a hybrid and usually about 30-45 minutes 3-5 mornings per week.- In one of the flattest places on earth- Little Rock has hills Real Hills I'm shooting for the 20 mile ride- if I'm giddy and my brother taunts me into it, maybe the 50. I need y'alls help to get ready. Heck, I haven't even ordered my proper bike shorts yet! I'm a big girl, but I think I found a kit that will fit.
I need y'all to tell me what I need to know! I've never ridden with a pack before this. There's a reason I like to ride in the dark at 5:30 in the morning- no spectators I'll take my Giant Sedona, but probably ride one of his bikes- (he has 3 spares to choose from- an Orbea, a Trek X/0 and a madone) he' rides about the same size as me 54-56/L - I'll probably choose the X/0 for wider tires- plus it's the one I covet the most ( even though the madone is so yummy).
I don't have cycling shoes! I do have a wonderful pair of Bass Clogs with big lug soles that are great for my flat pedals. I'm a novice and not ashamed of it- but I don't want to look or act STOOPID.
One final caveat- the ride is in Little Rock- I live in Cleveland, Mississippi & will have to get up and drive 3 hours to get there-- by 7 AM
