I'm doing a first time ride for MS any tips?
I'm doing my first ever event ride for MS and wonder if anyone could give me a tip or two as far as getting ready for the ride. The ride will be 26.1 miles and I currently ride about 8-10 miles 4-5 times per week and a little less on the other days. I've not yet rode a 26 mile none stop run and wonder what to expect and how I should train in the up coming weeks. The ride will be Oct 2nd and I want to be ready. Here is what I'll be riding. I really want to be able to finish the ride as my wife has MS and I don't want to let her down. This is my web page for the ride if anyone would like to make a donation and no amount it too small. I just want my first ride to be a good memory.
