"....suddenly the time has arrived! It starts this weekend!?"

Wow, what a surprise, thanks for the support all.

We actually have a lot of riders on this board doing some epic rides RAGBRAI etc. let's hear from all of you.

When I signed up for the ride I thought "yeah, no problem, I can train for this". I'd just come off training for my second degree black belt in Aikido so had a running start. I found myself thinking today as I headed to San Francisco for the safety video, I looked at the coastal mountain range I'll ride on sunday and said "what ever made me think I can do this?"

There will be a webcast so you can follow along from aidslifecyle.org. Velogirls bike club has 6 riders, we'll do a group rideout on Monday, day 2. Don't know if we'll get pictured but if you see a short chubby gal wearing pink helmet, bike, armskins and wearing bike tights and ATB shoes that may be me. the only day I know what jersey I'll wear is Monday, the pink Velogirls jersey.

see you when I get back.
