I committed to it in 2008, but haven't been able to get the training in that I need (totally my fault). I still have six months and I'll be working my butt off at the gym and in the saddle between now and July. It's been 15 years or better since I last rode STP.

But I'm hoping that with lots of training in th next six month and if I take it easy on the ride and enjoy myself, I can finish the two days. There's a group from work riding, but only two of us are newbies, so we'll probably stick together and meet up with the others where we can. *Sigh* Please tell me I'm not being stupid.
