I like that article. I failed 2 years ago, one reason because I did not eat breakfast. Now I know better than to try to go out there and ride with out eating something first, for any distance anyway.

That article is sooo true, but I never thought of it that way. To fail is to know I am trying.

Okay, so I won't worry about not finishing and just try. I've been so worried that I wouldn't be able to do it once again, that I haven't even tried.
How wasteful of me.

Thanks girls for all the advice and support. I'm going to turn my bike to the 50 miler.
