thanks for the responses guys!
I will be riding in Pelotonia, in Columbus ohio, it is a charity ride, so there is no racing. It gets fairly hilly at the 2nd half of the course, with the biggest hill a few miles and 500 ft elevation I think? There are 5000 riders signed up so far. The time limit is set on going 8mph the whole way which is I think 12 hours.
Could I get some safety tips about riding in such a big group and riding down the whole way on open roads?
Also there are only 6 rest stops, how much food and water should I be bringing along myself?
Thanks!!
