Hammer, I am going on the tour de kota too. What fun it would be to meet you. I haven't been able to put in enough training miles. My longest ride was 54 miles. Too early in the season for this slugbug to attempt a century. I've got to finish my packing. My name is Carolyn C. from Chamberlain and I ride a eros bianchi. Hope to see you down the road.
