Congrats on completing your ride.

Thanks Denise, I will convey this message to my friend. I will be honest in saying that we will probably ride this one again next year as we will be more mentally prepared and hopefully the sun will be shinning.

I am sure riding a Hampton ride in August, (hopefully my husband can join us) and then the Pumpkin Patch Centure in NJ in Oct will be piece of cake after this as both those rides we are sure are flat or close to it. My friend Chris tode them before.
