Prospective Ride - Is this too much?

Ok, I'll fill in a few more details. This is for our tri team members. BUt it will be billed as a ride where the goal is to keep a 17+ pace. If you don't think that you can keep that pace then don't plan to do it.

I feel sure that we will have some sort of sag by the time that it comes around.

The thought was to have your spouse or family member(s) meet us at the end. Spend the night and then ride back. Yes, ride back! Best case scenario! but we could have a plan B for the second day depending on how the first day goes.

I don't expect that we would have more than 5 or 6 people doing this. Right now, I'm probably one of the fastest "girls" on the team. I'm somewhat doubtful that there would be any other girl interested.

I've done a century at 18 mph on my own. I think that I could do it if things went well. I did not ride the Horsey fast. I had been very ill just a week prior to that and lost down to below my "lowest possible healthy weight." I've also gotten a lot stronger in general since then with my triathlon training.

Hey, makbike, that sounds like a great ride! Where did you ride?

It was a great ride and I'm glad I decided to participate on the last leg of this two day bike trip. The club left Louisville on Saturday and rode down to Mammoth Cave. I drove a club member's car down on Saturday and rode back on the return leg. It was an very hilly and challenging ride but we saw some beautiful country from atop our bikes.
