This weekend I'll ride a 65 mile (flat) event - and I'm totally fine with that.
The following weekend is another organized ride event, also about 65 miles but it inclues some very challenging climbs, advertized at 3500 total elevation gain. I'm pretty darn sure I'm not in shape to be able to take that on - but my husband isn't listening

The ride info includes the standard 'wear protective gear' and 'be trained & ready to handle the challenges' wording.

If you knew a ride would most likely push you beyond your limits - do you:

Go Anyway, walk the hills if you have to?
Skip it, and stick to training for future rides?
