Congratulations to all the women here who are getting ready for the first big ride!

One thing that nobody mentioned yet, is that if you can find a good group of people to ride with, you can get used to drafting off each other by riding together in the weeks leading up to the event, and then the ride will be much easier for everyone and you can probably go further than if you ride alone.

It's always good to have friends!

Good luck and have fun.
