I'm still planning to show up for cindy ride.

few minor obstacles:

my regular training ride is only 40 miles with about 2200-2700 feet of climb. nothing at 50 or 60 miles. I hope the 10-12% grade for 5 or so miles will make up for the 20 mile shortfall.) I climb 2200-2700 feet in about 10 miles. 20 mile is flat 10 mile of climb and 10 mile of descent.

Caught a cold/flu the other day. came home early and been sleeping most of the day. I'm still showing up regardless though.

I think I might take short cat naps at rest stops, I should be able to finish. So thank you for giving me an idea on the route. 1600 feet of climb at 2% or so isn't too bad.

As for the dinner, I have no idea where any of these places are... and if I'm still sick, I don't want to expose anyone else with this nasty bug.
