We signed up for the SD Gran Fondo!!

DH and I signed up for the San Diego Gran Fondo, the 52 mile version, which takes place next weekend. I haven't done 50 yet, but I did 32 miles or so after spin class a few weeks ago and that was pretty much a breeze, so I am fairly confident I will be fine. I am, however, still pretty excited and nervous! We just got our bikes not too long ago and this is our first organized ride.
Cycling just makes me go "Weeeeeeeeeeee."

Gran Fondo is Italian for "big ride." It is simply a big organized ride - not a race.
The San Diego Gran Fondo was today. We did the 53 mile route. We got back about an hour and a half ago. It poured for almost the entire ride. I haven't been so wet and sandy for over 20 years! What fun. It was a really great ride. DH and I had a ball. I almost bailed (because my feet were numb from the cold) and did the smaller ride (30 miles) but we pressed on. I was glad I did. I feel good about not wimping out. This was our first organized ride.
