anyone doing the MS150 ride in IL this coming weekend...

[kat]

I am. Signed up with a team, but haven't heard much from them, so I will probably be riding alone... but I ride alone most of the time, so no biggy

anyone else doing this ride?

Hi Kat,

I'll be there, but I'm a newbie slowpoke so I won't do you any good.

I'm super nervous about it, though. I haven't trained nearly enough (read, not at all) for a ride this long. I plan on doing the 6am start (well, maybe 6:30 or so in order to let those "serious" riders get out there first) so I have plenty of time to finish.

Twinkie your nerves will settle once you start to peddle!

You will do just fine. What you're doing is a wonderful, selfless effort to help those who need a cure for MS.
