Congratulations Sara!!!
If its the Tour De Tahoe you are talking about i would definitely work on your starting and stopping. It gets a lot of riders and Im assuming like a lot of other charitiy rides that some of these riders have zero bike skills so you may find yourself needing to stop quicker than you expected.
