I'm tentatively aiming for 100 miles Sunday the 20th, if all goes well.
Wow, `cat, that's ambitious!
I've thought of doing something similar, but I've decided I'm not ready yet. I have enough aches and pains already, without going looking for them. I ride for pleasure, and when 100 miles sounds like fun instead of folly,
then I'll be ready.
Which bike are you taking on this expedition? Well, whichever it is, I wish you smooth roads and tailwinds both ways. Good luck!
