I just email my friend and I think she is going to do the ride. I have been trying to encourage her to take on a century for years and I think this is the perfect one. She is married to one of our riding buddies who is an ironman and I think she feels she is always being left in the dust. She has already done a section of the ride from our cabin to Silver Falls last summer and loved it. I really want her to do this just to build her riding confidence. I think I will have kids make some signs to cheer her on when she rides past the cabin.

Thanks everyone for your input! Hope to see some of you on the ride!
