Hah! Me and the search function just don't get along! That second one could certainly have done fine as a sticky. Oh well...we've got one in place now!
I know what you mean regarding distance, money, accomodations and fitness. All of these are factors I'm considering. We did it on the cheap two years ago, but gas alone will make this pricey! As far as fitness, I think I've got a total of about 200 miles in the saddle so far, with 30 miles this past weekend being the longest so far. I've got to look at the calendar and figure out what I need to do between now and then to get in more rides with more distance.
