It's a lot of fun and as long as you take some time to get yourself used to being in the saddle you'll be fine. My first year I was on an old Kmart type bike with only 3 working gears. I only did 3 rides prior maxing at 30 miles. I only did day one, but it was fine. Second year, new Giant hybrid, did both days. My legs hurt at the end of day one, but once I got going on day two I was faster as well. Last year new road bike, my team (met the year before and added to them) averaged 16 mph both days, and one of the guys only rode his bike 1/4 mile down the road and back to train (!) and rode both days. Of course that is INSANE and he cramped up several times, but still made it to the free beer at the end! I hope you have great weather! We had hard rain almost all of the second day last year and none of the guys had rain gear and were freezing- plan ahead in case a storm sneaks up on you! Best of Luck!
