It's fast approaching. I'm feeling a lot better in that there are 60 riders signed up. There are several from my Club, and only 2 are stronger than me, despite my advanced age. I'm sure there will be others as well, so worse case I'll be in the "B" group if we get separated.
The ride organizer is very strong, but he's very adamant that everyone sticks to the 20 -22 pace.
Just got the bike re-fit, upgraded the brifters to Dura-Ace, and got new bar tape and a tune up. Hopefully the engine is as ready!
