My van is in the shop now for bodywork, but its totally supposed to be done before Thanksgiving.

I'm riding a comfort bike (my only other bike is a road bike) and my kiddo is doing this on a hybrid. We've had a rough summer (I'm still recovering from breaking my leg 4 months ago) and lately we've only been riding on flat paved trails so this is likely a bit too ambitious for us. We have completed a few 30 mile rides on our flat trails, so its not completely out of our range. At the very least, my hubby is going to be in the area geocaching so he can rescue us if needed! We signed up for the fun ride thinking we could go at our own pace and be out of everyone else's way.
Thanks for the offer, it is appreciated. I am pretty sure they will have my car to me by then but it is good to know that there is an option. I think you will have fun on the "fun ride", you can get out there to enjoy the gravel roads and scenery. Last year we were so busy that I never had the chance to ride, but I think that will be different this year. Did you see the message about the different starting location?
