yeah i'm pumped, i was driving with my wife with eyes closed. (she was driving) and she said your day dreaming about riding your bike aren't you. i certainly was.
it actually inspired me enough to take my old bike out and attempt my first metric century tomorrow. I think it should not be a problem, it is a supported ride with rest stops and all the help I could ask for. I think it is also a great way to meet people from a local bike club and hook up with some other riders.
