    ...too far away!

    I've driven to Philly once but no way in heck can I afford to now.

    Lori - are you backing out as something else came up? Or is it the mileage? I know the LiveStrong folks will allow you to change which route you ride. The 50 miler is actually a nice route and does not have that horrid climb up Metcalfe. Although, it does have a lot of people who are not seasoned bike handlers.

    Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

    Cycle! It's Good for the Wattle; it's good for the can!

    Christine, I've only ridden once since the accident, and I just think it's going to be a slower recovery than I first thought; I STILL have some bruises and while I've managed to stay pretty fit running (and taking swim lessons!) I haven't done much riding yet; I'm working on it, but I have to regain some confidence as well; I just don't see being ready in time. Perhaps a fall century?

    Thanks! I'll get there, just not by July. Maybe the fall. I really just need to get out and just ride; I think I would feel better. This weekend kind of got away from me, but I'm actually scheduled to take a chimbing class next weekend; I figure there won't be traffic, and perhaps it will be motivating.
