First organized ride is Sunday. I am a bit scared. I normally ride by myself, so starting out in a group has me nervous. Also, hills! Where I normally ride, there aren't any "real" hills (just a mile-long false flat on the way home that kills me every time). I am giving myself permission to walk if necessary, but still. I can't find the actual route on MapMyRide, just the 25 from last year and the 50 from 2008 (on the other side of town), which doesn't help. The 25 looks pretty flat, so the 50 shouldn't be too horrible, right?

Picked up a mirror and a Superflash tail light from work. I need to get zip ties for the tail light. The mirror should be easy enough to install.

I don't know why I'm this worried, since there's SAG support and rest stops and all that--and I ride the same sort of distances alone on a regular basis. Well, other than the fact that I haven't done much road riding for the last year or so! I suppose I'll do last year's 25-mile route on Saturday to get used to this whole "road" thing again...
TE, help me feel better!
