Hi Everybody!

Last year I rode in the American Cancer Society race from Philly to May's Landing (only 20 miles), completely clueless on a borrowed bike. That day, I learned the phrase, "On your left" in different variations.

However, this year I want to do 60 miles- in July. How do I start training? Should I buy a cheapie bike from craigslist if I'm not that serious a cyclist? How little can I spend on a decent bike? Can I say, "on your right"?

Help!
