The actual riding doesn't scare me. I can do ~25 in cold weather and not feel much the worse for wear, just a bit sore the next day. Provided I do a bit of cardio work starting Friday (when I don't have morning classes), I know I can do 30. If it's hilly...well, I'll just need a bit more work, then!

What scares me is figuring out how to raise $150 (or a bit more won't hurt).
I just did the same thing two weeks ago. I was surprised to see that within a couple of days of sending out fund-raising emails that I had raised over half of my $150. It may come easier than you fear

My 25-30 miles is going to be around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway - which is going to be interesting in itself - hopefully the event will keep it from getting too boring going around the 2.5 mile track, and around, and around...
