Grey, that's really nice -- thanks for the invitation! I've actually planted the metric seed in DH's mind, and he's considering it. To be honest, I have some doubts about my ability to ride 60+ miles, since we only ride twice a week (work and other commitments prevent us from getting out more often). But, I would really like to try, so we've decided to train for it and see how we feel the day of the ride. I would love to meet up with you and at least ride part of it with you!
