Thanks Mimitabby and Salsabike for the info regarding start position. I will make sure I am as close to the front this July 14th

My daughter said she will do it with me. She has never done anything over 40 miles so this will be a challenge for her. I have done double centuries with my husband before. We are going to start our serious training the first of March. Hopefully the weather will start to calm down by then. She is a fair weather rider. Hmmmmm She is young (24) so it shouldn't be too hard for her to train.
