Good luck pooks! I would love to do this ride someday, but DH and I have our hearts in the MS150. I can't do two large fundraisers a year. Last year they sent out a plea for volunteers and I think I might do it this year. Good luck, you will be surprised how easy 40 can be if you put your mind to it!
Luv'nAustin- Check out austincycling.org. They have weekly rides through varying terrain if you need training. I have yet to attend one on my own, but I probably will this Sunday as my DH is traveling for work.
