Cinderella advice, please

[smilingcat]

ahh... hmmm... lemon drop hill? another hill before that??

length, vertical feet, grade?? I haven't really ridden in like 6 years or so and all I have logged so far is measly 300 miles or so. And maybe 10-15- maybe 20 hours on my trainer. 6 years ago, I passed on easy ride but I'm 6 years older, 6 years of sedentary life. It's not coming back as well as I would like.

am a bit nervous. PLan to do a 40 mile ride with about 1,500 ft climb this weekend back to back (one Sat. and one on Sun.) Still fretting about DNFing. Bit embarrassed if I DNF or dump the ride.

Strong head wind toward the finish? yuck. cold? doubly yuck.
Well instead of whining I guess I'll just have to DO IT!!

Sheesh another thing to worry about. I think I'll wear my long tights instead of shorts. bring a set of leg warmer and arm warmers... I don't have a riding mitt just riding gloves. riding jacket... A dry towel in my car. A thermos with hot cocoa in my car.

with much trepidation,

Don't feel bad gals. I've only logged about 100 miles in 2 1/2 months. That means I have not been riding. Albeit I have 20 years of cycling under my belt, but I will be suffering nonetheless.

Thankfully, the Cindy is a pretty easy ride. Truthfully, it really is not hard.

Come along and see what you can do. It is all about the challenge
