Thanks ladies. You are too kind. I'm thinking we are going to do it! The kids signed up yesterday. I'm really close, thanks to you both.

I'm sure my speed will go way down with that many miles though. I think the suggestions for riding some of the hills, especially "the hill" in advance is a great idea.

And I haven't climbed those stairs yet!

Thanks for all of your encouragement. I'm feeling way better about it.
