I'm definitely not getting new tires or new anything else for this. I already know I won't be a winner; just a participant, but with all your encouragement, I do think I'll sign up and give it a go. I usually ride in a t-shirt, but I do own some jerseys (all gifts) and should probably wear one to compete.
Well, I'll be 54 in a couple of weeks, I own a TT bike, aero helmet, and a skinsuit. I wouldn't be looking at you smugly; I'd be glad you're there. I'm sure everyone in Tallahassee will be too; don't assume anyone's looking down on you.
