Thanks everyone.

Big Chainring- Thanks for the suggestion. Would this qualify as a decent bike for training and riding the 100 miles?

WFromm- You may may be right. We love to do things together and I do work out a lot so who knows. I would love to find a couple of good used bikes since I am buying 2 and initially they're for the Ride for the Cure only. As several people point out we may deide to ride more or to the JDRF ride again.

Thanks,
Paul
