If that were to happen, my truck just might "break down" on the way to the ride that morning.
My only concern is my saddle height, since our hours at work changed back I won't have a chance to ride at all until the Pie day. About the only thing I can do is put in some time on the rollers and make some VERY slight adjustments then if need be.
1) I've never ridden over 106 miles before.
2) I've never used 175mm cranks before.
3) And I've never been much of a climber either.
Man is this going to be fun!
