Terrain is flat, like I am used to. I think it may be a small ride though and I am super slow. I'd be alone in the back, for sure. I really would like to support the effort though. It's a great cause.
The more I think about it, the more I think I would be better off to try for one this fall...like the Seagull Century in October. That's in my home town and has a 62 mile option. I hear those SAG stops are the bomb. I would have a few months to prepare for that one.
Some of my concerns besides physically being able to last the tour are that I don't have all the necessary gear yet for longer rides, such as padded shorts and/or a cambelback. My bike only carries one drink. I shoved one in the back of my jersey yesterday.
You can register up until the night before the event. I think I'll amp up my riding and see if I can get some more gear and wait until that last night before the ride to commit.
