Tomorrow's the big day, 50 miles(only 1375ft elevation--seriously my driveway is steeper than that LOL!); my first group/charity ride. Took a solo "shakedown" ride of equal distance (and 5500ft of elevation) last weekend, finished in 3.5 hours, hot but little headwind which was nice. Unfortunately with work and getting the kid ready for baseball season I haven't been on the bike at all since. Hopefully I'll find a small group to blend into (and draft off of haha) to shave some time of my last ride but if not hey, the important thing is I'm having fun even if I end up being the last one into the finish. I know how important ride reports are to this little community so I'll be sure to write one up afterward. If anyone's got some tips for a newbie's first group ride I'd appreciate it otherwise I'll just wing it.
