I'm in for 100 miles.... Columbus to Athens! WOOP! Who else?

https://www.pelotonia.org/ride/

Lance is supposed to be there, and with the $1,500 min to ride the 100 miler (with L.A.), I'm imagining a bunch of people with lots of money will be there to "swim with the dolphin".....

Regardless, my 2nd 100 mile charity (doing Tour De Cure this weekend) ride, this time I got full sponsorship. Should be fun & interesting!

I'll be in if I can raise the cash! regardless, it ends in my town so I'll be there!

yeah, the $1500 for 100 miles is STEEEEP..... I said screw it until my friend got us sponsors. That's alot of money.

Look what I got back from them when I asked about elevation on the 100 mile route.

Jeezy! Section 4 is the worse and that is annoying at best! I'm surprised. That area near hocking hills is, well, hilly, how & why are they skipping all that???

The TOUR De CURE had 4,500 feet of climbing and some pretty mean hills.... Are they playing it safe for all the folks who want to ride with Lance for 100, but really shouldn't be riding 100???

Great 65 miles for Pedal With Pete for Cerebral Palsy today, warm, but great! Great tune up for the PELOTONIA'S IN TWO WEEKS!

I'm in it for the 50 miles. I am up to it, since I did a "I think I can, so I"ll try it 40 mile ride today. Other than an emergency sugar stop, I did pretty well, considering.
