What's the ride?
I don't think you're nuts. But maybe that's 'cause I'm a little nutty myself.

I won't address your general sanity
but it sounds like you've got a long time to get yourself into shape where doing both of these events would not be crazy at all. I think 3 weeks inbetween events is more than enough to be ready for the 1/2 mary.
How tough is this ride?I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

The ride is the Columbus Fall Challenge. It doesn't have its own website and the route varies from year to year. Typically it's 105-115 miles and 10,000 feet of climbing each day. Few if any climbs over 1 mile - we don't have many of those in Ohio - but many shorter ones over 15%.
The half mary is pretty flat. Amazing the difference in terrain a few miles makes... shows you where the glaciers stopped.
