I plan on riding my first Gran Fondo, the Hincapie Lehigh Valley. I'm buying my first indoor trainer on friday, and I bought Joe Friel's Cyclists Training Bible. I've never been in a competitive cycling event before, so it should be fun. 82 Miles, 6,750 feet of climbing. Of course (need you ask?) I'll be doing it on my Raleigh Technium. I just turned 67.
