That's what I was going to say. There's a real potential here for setting yourself up to lose Italy. I'd probably find something else to do Cindy day - something really fun - rather than "sort of almost" doing something that you wish you could do differnetly.
Or, I'd volunteer to help at the rid.e

How about doing only the second half?
Will you be alone? Have you considered going to the start, getting checked in and getting your route sheet. Then have a friend drop you off at the 30 mile mark or at the lunch spot and ride only the back half.
This way you will still get to participate. You would be less temped to go further than your knees should. And you wouldn't have to rely on the sag supplied by the organizers.Bork Bork, Hork Hork!!

Thanks very much
Thank you all, you all have a lot of collective wisdom.
My New Year's resolution this year was: I will be nice to myself. Sometimes it is very, very hard for me to figure out how to do that.
But I think in this situation (with your help) I've figured out what constitutes being nice to myself. I won't do the ride and risk hurting myself. My real goal is being well enough to enjoy riding in Italy, so I'm keeping my eyes on the prize (and the gelato).
Cinderella will wait until next year
