Thanks, I'll need some luck.
I've been training as much, and as smart as I know how, plus I plan to ride the double with the plan to finish under the time limit, i.e. not race anyone and take it kind of easy on the first climbs. I would like to keep at least an hour cushion at all the "cut-off" points, to keep the stress levels reasonable!
Still, this is a bit over the top for me, so I'm going to have to talk to myself a lot (for motivation) throughout the ride. If I don't make it, at least I will learn what to do differently for next year!
