what Veronica sed

"What's there to be ready for? I think the best parts of our rides are sitting around eating and talking AFTER the ride. You can do that!"

c'mon we're not that intimidating and ask bike goddess, I'm *not* fast. BG is fast! Each night she had the tent set up, the luggage put away and the tent decorated in complimentary colors, showered, ate, solved the problems of the world including Global Warming and the prevelance of reality TV, biked into town and got tent stakes, waxed and polished her bike .... all before i had arrived.

I just get there is all.

Usually at the back of the pack of any ride and always willing to hang back for others. Fact is doing slow rides and working on form is one way I got better this year.

You can train for the AIDS ride with short rides, between the demands on my time of my work, and my dog it's hard to get away to do a lot of long rides. You'll need to do some centuries and metrics for the experience to know both how your body, nuitrition and equipment responds to the demands so that you can make adjustments.

But your day to day training can be short rides even use your commute it just has to be intense on occaision I think; include hills, headwinds.

You can do this! You're off to a great start and I think I can speak for the other BA riders we'd love to be part of that.

also does anyone know how Annerol & amondala did? I ran into amondala, well that is she recognised me as she flew past me on a hill. We stopped and took a picture and I'm sorry I didn't meet up with Annerol (that i know of). Howdja do gals?
