Okay Mimi I went and did it. I filled out my RUSA application tonight and will drop it in the mail on my way to work tomorrow morning. It says to allow two weeks for processing. I haven't been riding a lot. My last "good" ride was almost two months ago. I did ride this past Sunday in 34 degree temperatures (as you already know from our FB postings) and got chapped lips from that ride which was only 20 miles long. But what the heck I'm up for a challenge this year. And besides I need to get back in shape I also need to drop 15 pounds! So . . . here we go!
