I'm going for the 62. The key element to the metric century is that there are over 6600 feet of vertical climb (mostly one big hill). Anyway, it should be a challenge--and fun.

If you're interested in the ride, let me know. You can sign up here:

That should qualify for the Ride your age ride. One thing to think of is that you will have one challenge--That one big hill. After that one bit of "Extreme" exertion, you will have done the worst part of the ride. The rest will be easy.
