Sounds like a great ride and they have some easier options! I don't know if i could do the 50 mile or not by April. I could surely do the 25. I guess it just depends on how much I get to ride this winter.
It would be totally cool to meet up and ride together, if we do the same route. I would really like that! I was telling one of the girlfriends about it, and she's interested in doing it, too. I think Blaine (husband) will ride it, as well. We'll see. I agree that it's much easier to keep motivated when you have a goal!
