Wow, drijo, you sound like you are in a whole different stratosphere from me! I am a slow rider on a fast bike (Trek 1500 WSD) who hates hills...however, I envision this practice ride as more of a social event...I've ridden most of the route myself, but in segments, and I think we'll run the whole range of abilities if we all come together at the same time.

I'm thinking possibly a Saturday or Sunday in late June. What do you all think, ladies?
