You guys have not yet met my friend Richard. He is incredibly funny and keeps me laughing all the time. I sent him the Old Hwy 80 ride infor and asked if he wanted to do it. This was his response to me. PS - I am not doing the ride:

I did get your email about the old highway 80 century, are you glutton for punishment or something? That ride has and I quote "Approximately 6,800 feet of climbing over four steady grade climbs between 3 and 8%". So I guess you are going to be getting in shape this week to make that century ride on Saturday. You truly are a bacon powered cycling machine. I could probably suffer through the 50 mile ride in my current condition. So you want to do that ride and still have some energy left for your Fathers day ride on Sunday [note to everyone - I am leading a Father's Day mountain bike ride in Limestone Canyon Sunday morning if anyone is interested ~ Pam]. I don't think I can carry you to the Sinks on my back if you can't ride your own bike :-) I know, I can get you a motor bike to ride or maybe a Rascal wheel chair with big knobby wheels. No one will think less of you especially me. I will be riding my bass boat brown Uber-Rascal gas powered wheel chair with sand rail tires for those "Large Boned" individuals. I will of course have a TV tray mounted right above my tum-tum to hold my snacks. A cup holder large enough to hold a 2 litre bottle of my favorite beverage and a feed bag full of cheesy burger products. What more could a gravitationally challenged "Large" person want except for a Hummer full of burgers and fry's. Why pedal when you can drive is my motto
