General Cycling Discussion - Anybody riding the Peach Pedal (Weatherford, TX) this year?

Anybody riding the Peach Pedal (http://www.peachpedal.com) this year? It's my hometown so I'm registered for the 40 mile - I was going to ride the 100k but haven't had a chance to make any long (40+ miles) rides this year to make sure I'm in shape for it. I may ride the 100k anyway, it's the same price and what are they going to do, take away my birthday? :)

Anyway, if you're going to be there and you'd like to meet and slap hands let me know. I'm not really looking for a riding partner unless you're also riding in the "fat, cardio-challenged, old fart on a hybrid" paceline. :lol:

I am registered for the 40 mile as well. I am riding with some friends...some of the friends are "elite", and I will get made fun of, but I just want to pedal for the fun of it, and finish. No record times will be set by by me...I just want to finish. Shelia

Well, if you pass a fat dude on a Trek 7300 with a yellow toolbox bolted on the rear rack, say, "Hi John" :)

I plan on going. I have never ridin an event ride and would like to try one that is somewhat local if you can call Frisco to Weatherford local. I am going for the century which is more like 88 k according to the peachpedal website.

Are there any major hills to speak of???
