Starfish-
Nice to have someone to have an anxiety attack with

Seriously - we could just be hanging out at home watching movies, and instead we are seriously challenging ourselves athletically - that totally rocks .

You are going to climb a Mountain on your bike - wow!

My goal is to stay on the bike, not get sick to my stomach, have fun and meet some new people. This ride is the reason I bought my bike and started this whole process (since this March). And I raised almost $3,000 for cancer research too.

The Pan Mass ride actually has a start group for casual riders under 13 MPH - at least I can count myself as having graduated from that group.

I look forward to some day having the same skill level on the bike as I do in my work! (OK, not a professional bike rider, but a competent B16 rider who does big hills at 7 MPH would be good).

Being excited and a bit anxious is the totally appropriate response!
