hi, thanks for the reply. i had no idea what i was getting myself into so i really appreciate the advice. you are right, i've never done group rides before. i'll look into the link in depth.
is this because of how close and fast people ride in packs? and if i dont have the experience, things can go wrong? thanks!

If this is correct, its a seriously bad idea to do the race, for your safety and the safety of others. Read the sticky thread, and follow the recommended progression.
You still have a month, So if you want to give it a go, go ahead and register, but find some group rides and get some experience between now and then.
